-# Added skeletal infrastructure to support SIGUSR2 update hosts request.
-#
-# Revision 1.23 2003/09/15 09:24:49 foxr
-# Add use strict and fix all the fallout from that.
-#
-# Revision 1.22 2003/09/02 10:34:47 foxr
-# - Fix errors in host dead detection logic (too many cases where the
-# retries left were not getting incremented or just not checked).
-# - Added some additional status to the ps axuww display:
-# o Remaining retries on a host.
-# o >>> DEAD <<< indicator if I've given up on a host.
-# - Tested the SIGHUP will reset the retries remaining count (thanks to
-# the above status stuff, and get allow the loncnew to re-try again
-# on the host (thanks to the log).
-#
-# Revision 1.21 2003/08/26 09:19:51 foxr
-# How embarrassing... put in the SocketTimeout function in loncnew and forgot
-# to actually hook it into the LondTransaction. Added this to MakeLondConnection
-# where it belongs... hopefully transactions (not just connection attempts) will
-# timeout more speedily than the socket errors will catch it.

-# Also needed to remember to fail in-flight transactions if their sends fail.
-#
-# Revision 1.17 2003/08/03 00:44:31 foxr
-# 1. Correct handling of connection failure: Assume it means the host is
-# unreachable and fail all of the queued transactions. Note that the
-# inflight transactions should fail on their own time due either to timeout
-# or send/receive failures.
-# 2. Correct handling of logs for forced death signals. Pull the signal
-# from the event watcher.
-#
-# Revision 1.16 2003/07/29 02:33:05 foxr
-# Add SIGINT processing to child processes to toggle annoying trace mode
-# on/off.. will try to use this to isolate the compute boud process issue.

-# Revision 1.15 2003/07/15 02:07:05 foxr

+=item Warning A socket timeout was detected
+
+If there are pending transactions in the socket's queue,
+they are failed (saved if critical). If the connection
+retry count gets exceeded by this, the
+remote host is marked as dead.
+Called when timeouts occurred during the connection and
+connection dialog with a remote host.
+
+=item Critical Host makred DEAD
+
+The numer of retry counts for contacting a host was
+exceeded. The host is marked dead an no
+further attempts will be made by that child.
+
+=item Info lonc pipe client hung up on us
+
+Write to the client pipe indicated no data transferred
+Socket to remote host is shut down. Reply to the client
+is discarded. Note: This is commented out in &ClientWriteable
+
+=item Success Reply from lond:
+
+Can be enabled for debugging by setting LogTransactions to nonzero.
+Indicates a successful transaction with lond, is the data received
+from the remote lond.
+
+=item Success A delayed transaction was completed
+
+A transaction that must be reliable was executed and completed
+as lonc restarted. This is followed by a mesage of the form
+
+ S: client-name : request
+
+=item WARNING Failing transaction :
+
+Transaction failed on a socket, but the failure retry count for the remote
+node has not yet been exhausted (the node is not yet marked dead).
+cmd is the command, subcmd is the subcommand. This results from a con_lost
+when communicating with lond.
+
+=item WARNING Shutting down a socket
+
+Called when a socket is being closed to lond. This is emitted both when
+idle pruning is being done and when the socket has been disconnected by the remote.
+
+=item WARNING Lond connection lost.
+
+Called when a read from lond's socket failed indicating lond has closed the
+connection or died. This should be followed by one or more
+
+ "WARNING Failing transaction..." msgs for each in-flight or queued transaction.
+
+=item WARNING No SSL channel (verification failed), will try with insecure channel.
+
+Called when promotion of a socket to SSL failed because SSL certificate verification failed.
+Domain configuration must also permit insecure channel use for key exchange. Connection
+negotiation will start again from the beginning, but with Authentication Mode not set to ssl.
+
+=item INFO Connected to lond version:
+
+When connection negotiation is complete, the lond version is requested and logged here.
+
+=item SUCCESS Connection n to host now ready for action
+
+Emitted when connection has been completed with lond. n is then number of
+concurrent connections and host, the host to which the connection has just
+been established.
+
+=item WARNING Connection to host has been disconnected
+
+Write to a lond resulted in failure status. Connection to lond is dropped.
+
+=item SUCCESS Created connection n to host host
+
+Initial connection request to host..(before negotiation).
+
+=item CRITICAL Request Close Connection ... exiting
+
+Client has sent "close_connection_exit" The loncnew server is exiting.
+
+=item INFO Resetting Connection Retries
+
+Client has sent "reset_retries" The lond connection retries are reset to zero for the
+corresponding lond.
+
+=item SUCCESS Transaction
+
+Only emitted if the global variable $LogTransactions was set to true.
+A client has requested a lond transaction is the contents of the request.
+
+=item SUCCESS Toggled transaction logging
+
+The state of the $LogTransactions global has been toggled, and its current value
+(after being toggled) is displayed. When non zero additional logging of transactions
+is enabled for debugging purposes. Transaction logging is toggled on receipt of a USR2
+signal.
+
+=item CRITICAL Abnormal exit. Child for died thorugh signal.
+
+QUIT signal received. lonc child process is exiting.
+
+=item SUCCESS New debugging level for now
+
+Debugging toggled for the host loncnew is talking with.
+Currently debugging is a level based scheme with higher number
+conveying more information. The daemon starts out at
+DebugLevel 0 and can toggle back and forth between that and
+DebugLevel 2 These are controlled by
+the global variables $DebugLevel and $NextDebugLevel
+The debug level can go up to 9.
+SIGINT toggles the debug level. The higher the debug level the
+more debugging information is spewed. See the Debug
+sub in loncnew.
+
+=item CRITICAL Forking server for host
+
+A child is being created to service requests for the specified host.
+
+
+=item WARNING Request for a second child on hostname
+
+Somehow loncnew was asked to start a second child on a host that already had a child
+servicing it. This request is not honored, but themessage is emitted. This could happen
+due to a race condition. When a client attempts to contact loncnew for a new host, a child
+is forked off to handle the requests for that server. The parent then backs off the Unix
+domain socket leaving it for the child to service all requests. If in the time between
+creating the child, and backing off, a new connection request comes in to the unix domain
+socket, this could trigger (unlikely but remotely possible),.
+
+=item CRITICAL ------ Starting Children ----
+
+This message should probably be changed to "Entering event loop" as the loncnew only starts
+children as needed. This message is emitted as new events are established and
+the event processing loop is entered.
+
+=item INFO Updating connections via SIGUSR2
+
+SIGUSR2 received. The original code would kill all clients, re-read the host file,
+then restart children for each host. Now that children are started on demand, this
+just kills all child processes and lets requests start them as needed again.
+
+
+=item CRITICAL Restarting
+
+SigHUP received. all the children are killed and the script exec's itself to start again.
+
+=item CRITICAL Nicely killing lonc for host pid =
+
+Attempting to kill the child that is serving the specified host (pid given) cleanly via
+SIGQUIT. The child should handle that, clean up nicely and exit.
+
+=item CRITICAL Nastily killing lonc for host pid =
+
+The child specified did not die when requested via SIGQUIT. Therefore it is killed
+via SIGKILL.
+
+=item CRITICAL Asked to kill children.. first be nice..
+
+In the parent's INT handler. INT kills the child processes. This inidicate loncnew
+is about to attempt to kill all known children via SIGQUIT. This message should be followed
+by one "Nicely killing" message for each extant child.

+SIGKILL. Should be followed by a Nastily killing... for each lonc child that
