I like being able to watch the debug output in screen, but that's
just me.

Are you running with debug enabled???


Why, does that kill the performance or?

It does hurt.


Ah didn't know that - I'll turn it off when I get the chance in that
case.

I totally did not get that. My comment was about the fact that logging
is not free. Of course it costs you something. (performance being the
obvious cost with computers)

Which should be obvious by the general TANSTAAFL.

TANSTAAFL is not an acronym I had come across, but it sure looks a lot
like TNETENNBA.... crazy English humour...

Ok. First of all, I assumed that most people here might have known it, and if not, it's easy to look up. And it is rather old... Minted in the 50s or 60s. (I can't remember for sure right now).

But yeah, it does look a bit like that thing you wrote. Except that TANSTAAFL actually means something. :-)

Is it possible to add some debugging that is less performance intensive
but can you tell 'yes, there is comms between my instance of the bridge
and the remote ends'? Or do we have that already?

Ah. There is. That is what the SIGUSR1 is for...
I should improve on it, so that you can do it on a process you don't have the output from, though...

I suspect 90% of the issues with the bridge not working are solely down
to network configuration... if it is obvious that there is a link then
it allows me to focus on the 10% of issues that aren't down to my
stupidity ;)

So, maybe I should actually write some documentation, you say...? :-)
