 your "rebooting x", "x is back" lines from #tor-project irc seem eminently
 automatable.

 That's exactly what I had in mind. The trick is whether individual hosts
 should connect to IRC to issue those notifications (?!) or whether the
 calling script should. Either way, we'd need some sort of notification
 bot, which has been kind of a pain in the arse before in my experience.
 But maybe we could leverage KGB for this?

 It's one of the reasons I'm thinking of rebuilding this system in the
 first place as well...

 Thanks for the feedback!
