[App_rpt-users] New rc.updatenodelist script

[Stephen Rodgers]

I put a new version of the rc.updatenodelist script on
http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/rc.updatenodelist

A few things have changed:

1. nodes3.allstarlink.org node server supported
2. Added additional check for garbage downloaded
3. Automatic reselection of a new download server when 100 successful
downloads have been completed. This helps balance the load on the node
servers.
4. Added a Back off timer to reduce server load if a node isn't
authorized, or there is no network connectivity.

To install in ACID, you must save your old copy of the script in
/etc/rc.d/rc.updatenodelist, then download and copy the new script
over the top of the old script:

cd /etc/init.d
cp rc.updatenodelist rc.updatenodelist.bak
wget -O rc.updatenodelist \
http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/rc.updatenodelist

And then reboot your system to load the new script
