commit 4548fb5208e174b188374deefac98b1ede014c0e
Author: Michal 'vorner' Vaner <michal.vaner at nic.cz>
Date:   Fri Oct 14 20:58:17 2011 +0200

    Mess 4
    
    * Drop a whole bunch of tests that check starting and stopping of
      components. This is now delegated to the Configurator
    * Disable brittle tests, brittle does not work for now. Maybe we don't
      need it.
    * Cleanup in the boss code, dropping bunch of dead code parts
    * Repaired the get_processes method.

 - Read msgq configuration from configuration manager (Trac #213)
   https://bind10.isc.org/ticket/213
 - Provide more administrator options:
-  - Get process list
   - Get information on a process (returns list of times started & stopped, 
     plus current information such as PID)
-  - Add a component (not necessary for parking lot, but...)
   - Stop a component
   - Force-stop a component
 - Mechanism to wait for child to start before continuing
-- Way to ask a child to die politely 
-- Start statistics daemon
-- Statistics interaction (?)
 - Use .spec file to define comands
 - Rename "c-channel" stuff to msgq for clarity
-- Use logger
 - Reply to shutdown message?
 - Some sort of group creation so termination signals can be sent to
   children of children processes (if any)
