POPeye remote control interface

POPeye currently ``exports'' 3 procedures:

Name Meaning
popeye_shutdown No arguments. The process receiving this command will exit immediately. Currently the only way to have a clean shutdown, with unregistration of the process at the name service
popeye_fetch No arguments. Triggers a fetch cycle in the receiving process.
popeye_logto One argument required, has to be either empty or a 2-element list. In the first case remote logging will be switched off. Interpreted as hostname andportnumber in the 2nd form, in this order. The receiving process will send its log to the specified address from then on.

See apps/popeyemon for an example of their usage.
