Thanks for the info. I actually had one of my programmers take a stab
at this and he wrote in a patch that allows me to specify a time period
in which the sync_client will poll the sync_server and then die after
the time period has passed. He's coding in an option to let it poll
indefinitely and continue logging as I write this. Although we aren't
going to suggest it get added to the distribution at this point because
he is leaving on a long long vacation :)
