Re: [OpenCALEA] Debian Tests

Depending on your site you may need to install the software
on 2 different machines (for testing they could be the same machine).
For the example below I will assume they are 2 different machines,
first is the tap device the second is the controller.

Here is an example of how to run the new software (please use the latest
copy of svn if possible if not I will try to create a intermediate 
release 0.52.tar.gz tomorrow for people to use.:

on the Tap device ip addr 1.1.1.1:

1: ./collector

On the Controller device:

1: ./controller
2: connect 1.1.1.1
3: status
   should show blank table
4: start "-x x -y y -z z -f " host 2.2.2.2 and port 80 " "
   note the spaces in the syntax it is not very user friendly
   right now sorry.
5: status
   should show a tap process running
6: stop <pid-from status table>
7: status
   should again show an empty table
8: quit

you can check the debug messages that get printed out and please report 
these if things are not working.

thanks
