[Seaside] Netstat -l

[Dmitry Dorofeev]

Hi,

I run squeak on various Linuxes and *BSD with this command line:

squeak -nodisplay -nosound -notimer -memory 256m headless.image 

Usually I prepare image starting WAKom, preconfiguring my seaside app in a normal
way, i.e. interactively with mouse :-) then I save an image and changes file and ftp them both
to remote host.

The problems you may have:
1. No readable Squeak Sources file. You should find a settings to disable warnings on the subject
in your squeak image. Otherwise it is a popup question in your image which must be answered
before it load itself and start services. In headless image no way to answer it :-(
Settings are saved in a separate file, named my.prefs. You need to move it as well.

2. Port(s) is already taken by other apps on the host. 


-Dmitry.
