Re: Script for starting private Tor networks

[ADB <firefox-gen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tested it in win32, and it doesn't really work. Some system calls differ. Here's the output:

   
IDLE 1.1.1     
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================

Good code, just by looking at it, it seems very portable. Before I go
testing it on Win32, though, it shouldn't screw up my existing config
files, etc. if they are present right? (Just want to be sure)
    

Portability is a fluke - I've not coded on Windows since I was about 12.

It will stomp some files, but only ones which it thinks that it would
have created last time. Thus, if you have lots of directories called
nodeD0 and so forth it will think that it owns them.

Generally, run it in a new directory and all the files it creates
should be within that directory.
(barring command line args to tell it otherwise and/or really freaky
Windows behavior - but I don't think so)
