=head1 SYNOPSIS
+Usage: B

Should only be run as user=www. This is a command-line script which

+is invoked by B. There is no expectation that a typical user
+will manually start B from the command-line. (In other words,
+DO NOT START B YOURSELF.)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Provides persistent TCP connections to the other servers in the network
through multiplexed domain sockets
- PID in subdir logs/lonc.pid
- kill kills
- HUP restarts
- USR1 tries to open connections again
+B forks off children processes that correspond to the other servers
+in the network. Management of these processes can be done at the
+parent process level or the child process level.
+
+ After forking off the children, B the B
+executes a main loop which simply waits for processes to exit.
+As a process exits, a new process managing a link to the same
+peer as the exiting process is created.
+
+B is the location of log messages.
+
+The process management is now explained in terms of linux shell commands,
+subroutines internal to this code, and signal assignments:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+PID is stored in B
+
+This is the process id number of the parent B process.
+
+=item *
+
+SIGTERM and SIGINT
+
+Parent signal assignment:
+ $SIG{INT} = $SIG{TERM} = \&HUNTSMAN;
+
+Child signal assignment:
+ $SIG{INT} = 'DEFAULT'; (and SIGTERM is DEFAULT also)
+(The child dies and a SIGALRM is sent to parent, awaking parent from slumber
+ to restart a new child.)
+
+Command-line invocations:
+ B B<-s> SIGTERM I
+ B B<-s> SIGINT I
+
+Subroutine B:
+ This is only invoked for the B parent I.
+This kills all the children, and then the parent.
+The B file is cleared.
+
+=item *
+
+SIGHUP
+
+Current bug:
+ This signal can only be processed the first time
+on the parent process. Subsequent SIGHUP signals
+have no effect.
+
+Parent signal assignment:
+ $SIG{HUP} = \&HUPSMAN;
+
+Child signal assignment:
+ none (nothing happens)
+
+Command-line invocations:
+ B B<-s> SIGHUP I
+
+Subroutine B:
+ This is only invoked for the B parent I,
+This kills all the children, and then the parent.
+The B file is cleared.
+
+=item *
+
+SIGUSR1
+
+Parent signal assignment:
+ $SIG{USR1} = \&USRMAN;
+
+Child signal assignment:
+ $SIG{USR1}= \&logstatus;
+
+Command-line invocations:
+ B B<-s> SIGUSR1 I
+
+Subroutine B:
+ When invoked for the B parent I,
+SIGUSR1 is sent to all the children, and the status of
+each connection is logged.
