This is definitely on the right track. Outages are one reason I'd like this feature, but really I suppose I'm more interested in being able to switch from, say, my laptop to my desktop at will without having to restart my programs. If you could post those sources I might be interested in updating them.

acme dumps and rio -i help for sure (already using those), but (I think) it'd be handy to have something where I can disconnect without interrupting, say, a long-running process or otherwise having to restart.

thanks.
