(Bottom.. bottom... ...)

There are a number of ways to control another SqueezeCenter (aka 
slimserver) client.  Usually you talk to the server over the CLI using 
slightly cryptic text like commands.  You can "telnet <serverIP> 9090" 
and give it a go right now.  I've thought about this feature but in the 
end it didn't appeal to me that much.  The ability to point a browser at 
the server and do the same kind-of made adding it to an individual 
client redundant.  I guess the only thing I would really want is a easy 
way to shut down all clients, say, when I leave the house.  You could 
probably do that in a simple sh,csh or bash script.
