Shell scripts ???

I must confess that I abandoned FSO some time ago because I don't
like D-BUS.
My own little toy stack uses files to pass data between applications.
dnotify and locks make up most of the rest of the picture.  Oh, and
"exec" to invoke some service like sending a txt message.

I modified gsm0710muxd to listen on a unix-domain socket so I could
avoid D-BUS there too.  Admittedly shell scripts cannot talk to
unix domain sockets either ... and I am almost tempted to added
support for AF_INET sockets so that I can use netcat to talk to
it.  But I haven't yet.

I suspect there is a good chance I will get sick of building my
on stack one day and use something supported by someone else, but
for now I'm having fun.  I'm actually a big fan of the Knights of NIH :-)
