[Dxspider-support] Autostarting spider & client making

[Bob Nielsen]

I suspect that is the case and there should only be one configuration  
in /etc/event.d pointing to a particular tty.  I typically output to  
a file in /tmp rather than a tty so I can access the process remotely  
(my spider node is on a headless box and I plan to do that with the  
new one also).

I am going to wait until after the IOTA contest to start tearing down  
the computers, but hopefully it will happen next week.
