Ah - I never found this little gem. It does pretty much the same thing
as mine, only more elegantly. However, mine has fewer dependencies -
no need for atd, inetd and possibly others. Mine only requires NFS,
which it has anyway as that's how I store all my recordings - and just
about everything else, as I net boot all my boxes off it as well.

These dependencies should not be a problem for normal linux distros,
but for a hobbled box like my MSS this is all too much. My concierge
box is greener though, as it only uses about 5 watts :-)

I think my solution may be easier to implement, but hey I would say that...
