'''
A program to start/stop BOINC server daemons and run periodic tasks.
Parses config.xml and runs <daemon> and <task> entries.
The format of config.xml is described in boinc/doc/configuration.php.

The main script is "start"; sym-link or hard-link "start" to "stop", "cron".
Invocation methods:

   --enable   (default if invoked as "start")
              Set the project to ENABLED mode and start daemons

   --cron     If project is in ENABLED mode start daemons and run tasks;
              else do nothing.
              This command is intended to be run as a real cron job
              every five minutes.
   --cron-tasks     Run tasks but do not start daemons;
              This command is intended to be run as a real cron job
              every five minutes.

   --disable  (default if invoked as "stop")
              Set project to DISABLED mode and stop daemons.

   --status   (default if invoked as "status")
              Show status.

See "start --help" for options.

Daemons:
These are continuously-running programs.
The process ID is recorded in the <pid_dir> directory
and the process is sent a SIGHUP in a DISABLE operation.

Both tasks and daemons can run on a different host (specified by <host>).
The default is the project's main host, which is specified in config.host
A daemon or task can be turned off by adding the <disabled/> element.

IMPLEMENTATION:

"Start" uses a file "run_state_HOST.xml" that records the enabled mode
and the last run time of periodic tasks on that host.
Looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0">
<boinc>
  <tasks>
    <task>
      <cmd>
        get_load
      </cmd>
      <last_run>
        1070392808.86
      </last_run>
    </task>
    ...
  </tasks>
  <enabled>
    1
  </enabled>
</boinc>


Daemons:
  Writes a PID to pid_HOST/command.pid.

Tasks:
  Writes a timestamp to run_state_HOST.xml
  to remember when the task was last run.

Both:
  A lock file (pid_HOST/command.lock)
  prevents tasks and daemons from being run
  again when they are currently running.
