Hi all,
procServ V2.5.1 has been released.[1]
** This is mainly a portability and bugfix release, existing users will
probably not have to update. **
procServ now runs on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X.
It has been accepted into the official Debian release, so on any system
running squeeze or later - or Lucid Lynx on (k)ubuntu - it can be
installed as "procserv" through the regular package managers.
I have also packaged it for RedHat/Fedora (.spec file is in the
tarball), but I am still waiting for someone to review and upload it so
it gets into the distribution. If you know someone who is involved in
Fedora and might be willing to help, please point them to
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547832 - thanks a lot!

Enjoy!

[1] procServ is a wrapper application that runs any process (e.g. a soft
IOC) in the background, allowing telnet access to its stdin/stdout. It
supports logging, child restart (manual or automatic on crash/exit),
blocking characters that are considered dangerous to the child, and more.
