# TODO IDEAS:  add options to
# * set listening xmlrpc port
# * start in background, see instances running, and stop instances
# * set instance to autostart on boot
# * provide better conf file template
# * install from source
# * install and add an additional addons directory to an existing instance
# * update instance files
# * remove instance
# * rebuild and run tests on throw-away instances

# Alternative start.sh:
#!/bin/sh
#INSTANCE=`dirname $0`
#$INSTANCE/server/openerp-server --config=$INSTANCE/openerp-server.conf --addons-path=`ls -dm $INSTANCE/addons-repo/*|tr -d ' '` $*
