[Dxspider-support] respawing

Fri May 23 23:33:33 BST 2008

I see.  I guess I need to get serious about building up the new  
machine for my node and run some more tests using upstart.  I got it  
to start with that script but only ran it for a while with no  
connections, which isn't much of a test.  I know that with Ubuntu  
8.10 you can replace the stock upstart with sysvinit, but hopefully  
that won't be needed.

I won't try that until next week (I know better than to mess with the  
node during a contest weekend!)
