[Dxspider-support] New check_build.pl

[ei6iz.Brendan Minish]

Hi Steve

Firstly the Ubuntu server should not need to reboot after cluster upgrades,
generally you would only need to reboot the system after a kernel update &
even then it can wait, the system will just keep on using the old kernel
until reboot.

DXspider, if installed as a system service and enabled should just restart
(respawn)  if shutdown from within dxspider

The steps involved on a modern ubuntu system are covered at the end of the
installation notes I put up here

https://wiki.dxcluster.org/index.php/Ubuntu_22.04

If this isn't working for you I'd be keen to dig a little more as it
probably means I have left out some things from the install guide!
