If you need to "speak spider" to find out what's going on in the system, then you can telnet into port 5091 on ystvoffpc (to be called ystvspider) and query the status of devices and which are connected. You need to be logged in to the machine to do this because port 5091 is blocked at the firewall.

There are two user accounts:
* user
* sched
user is a higher priority than sched. Sched is what [[skedular]] logs in as,and if any controls have not been set to * by user, sched can do nothing. (interesting side note: if user tells it to play a video, then sched tells it to play a video, it plays the video user told it to, but restarts it when sched tells it to.)
