Because none of the web-services logs record their stop/start via the "daitss" command, we need a way to retain a record of "daitss" command shutdowns/startups for troubleshooting purposes.

At today's meeting it was agreed that the daitss script would be modified as follows:

1. To log to a /var/log/daitss/daitss_script.log (is that the correct name?) in addition to STDOUT, so that the operator can see command output without having to consult the log.
2. To record a timestamp indicating when the command was issued? (Or when the shutdown/startup was executed?)
3. I think that we want to omit the "daitss status" command, or do we? If we log this command we might cause the log to get unduly large.

Let's confirm the specs and perhaps a mock-up of the log before we continue.

"medium/high" priority.
