+ Called when a read from lond's socket failed indicating lond has closed the
+ connection or died.  This should be followed by one or more
+  "WARNING Failing transaction..." msgs for each in-flight or queued transaction.
+ =item INFO Connected to lond version:  <version>
+ When connection negotiation is complete, the lond version is requested and logged here.
+ =item SUCCESS Connection n to host now ready for action
+ Emitted when connection has been completed with lond. n is then number of
+ concurrent connections and host, the host to which the connection has just
+ been established.
+ =item WARNING Connection to host has been disconnected
+ Write to a lond resulted in failure status.  Connection to lond is dropped.
+ =item SUCCESS Created connection n to host host
+ Initial connection request to host..(before negotiation).
+ =item CRITICAL Request Close Connection ... exiting
+ Client has sent "close_connection_exit"   The loncnew server is exiting.
+ =item INFO Resetting Connection Retries
+ Client has sent "reset_retries" The lond connection retries are reset to zero for the
+ corresponding lond.
+ =item SUCCESS Transaction <data>
+ Only emitted if the global variable $LogTransactions was set to true.
+ A client has requested a lond transaction <data> is the contents of the request.
+ =item SUCCESS Toggled transaction logging <LogTransactions>
+ The state of the $LogTransactions global has been toggled, and its current value
+ (after being toggled) is displayed.  When non zero additional logging of transactions
+ is enabled for debugging purposes.  Transaction logging is toggled on receipt of a USR2
+ signal.
+ =item CRITICAL Abnormal exit. Child <pid> for <host> died thorugh signal.
+ QUIT signal received.  lonc child process is exiting.
+ =item SUCCESS New debugging level for <RemoteHost> now <DebugLevel>
+ Debugging toggled for the host loncnew is talking with.
+ Currently debugging is a level based scheme with higher number
+ conveying more information.  The daemon starts out at
+ DebugLevel 0 and can toggle back and forth between that and
+ DebugLevel 2  These are controlled by
+ the global variables $DebugLevel and $NextDebugLevel
+ The debug level can go up to 9.
+ SIGINT toggles the debug level.  The higher the debug level the
+ more debugging information is spewed.  See the Debug
+ sub in loncnew.
+ =item CRITICAL Forking server for host
+ A child is being created to service requests for the specified host.
+ =item WARNING Request for a second child on hostname
+ Somehow loncnew was asked to start a second child on a host that already had a child
+ servicing it.  This request is not honored, but themessage is emitted.  This could happen
+ due to a race condition.  When a client attempts to contact loncnew for a new host, a child
+ is forked off to handle the requests for that server.  The parent then backs off the Unix
+ domain socket leaving it for the child to service all requests.  If in the time between
+ creating the child, and backing off, a new connection request comes in to the unix domain
+ socket, this could trigger (unlikely but remotely possible),.
+ =item CRITICAL ------ Starting Children ----
+ This message should probably be changed to "Entering event loop"  as the loncnew only starts
+ children as needed.  This message is emitted as new events are established and
+ the event processing loop is entered.
+ =item INFO Updating connections via SIGUSR2
+ SIGUSR2 received. The original code would kill all clients, re-read the host file,
+ then restart children for each host.  Now that childrean aree started on demand, this
+ just kills all child processes and lets requests start them as needed again.
+ =item CRITICAL Restarting
+ SigHUP received.  all the children are killed and the script exec's itself to start again.
+ =item CRITICAL Nicely killing lonc for host pid = <pid>
+ Attempting to kill the child that is serving the specified host (pid given) cleanly via
+ SIGQUIT  The child should handle that, clean up nicely and exit.
+ =item CRITICAL Nastily killing lonc for host pid = <pid>
+ The child specified did not die when requested via SIGQUIT.  Therefore it is killed
+ via SIGKILL.
+ =item CRITICAL Asked to kill children.. first be nice..
+ In the parent's INT handler.  INT kills the child processes.  This inidicate loncnew
+ is about to attempt to kill all known children via SIGQUIT.  This message should be followed
+ by one "Nicely killing" message for each extant child.
+ =item CRITICAL Now kill children nasty
+ In the parent's INT handler. remaining children are about to be killed via
+ SIGKILL. Should be followed by a Nastily killing... for each lonc child that
+ refused to die.
+ =item CRITICAL Master process exiting
+ In the parent's INT handler. just prior to the exit 0 call.
+ =back
+ =cut
