[App_rpt-users] Registration issues

[Chuck Henderson]

Isn't time travel fun. :)

Some time ago I noticed my systems had not received the extnodes file in a
very long time because the rc.updatenodelist script was hung up on one of
the servers that was having a problem.  So I modified the wget line in the
/etc/rc.d/rc.updatenodelist  script.
I added the "-t 2  -T 8" to the line and that seems to let it more easily
skip over the server that is not working correctly.

$WGET -q -t 2 -T 8 -O /tmp/rpt_extnodes-temp http://$i.$TOPDOMAIN/cgi-bin/
nodes.pl

Seems to be lots better since then.  Even when there were 2 of the 4
servers that were having issues, my system with the modified script still
kept getting the updated extnodes file, while my friends system without the
change was not getting the updated extnodes file.
