[Dxspider-support] Multiple shuts and restarts by Spider Cron in same minute

[John Spigel]

With all the discussion adding registration, passwords, with updated 
country files, bad this and that, etc., now being included with frequent 
new builds, and 'shut' from crontab taking at least a minute to 
complete, what would it take to hold users and connections over this 
restart period akin to a 'sleep' command? A new internal command, say, 
'shut4update', would pause the restart for 60 seconds, allow the 
spidercron clock to increment, suspend or lengthen timeouts so not to 
drop or disconnect.

The benefit: Users, sometimes hundreds at once, would not need to 
reconnect with passwords; loss of access would typically be only 10-20 
seconds, and missed by much of the contest software out there.

I am not a coder. If I knew a little more about perl than I do now I 
would be dangerous.
