Update: ipvsman/d now reads keepalived.conf

[Just Marc]

Hallo!


Cool tool.  congratulations.  It has lots of potential.  I love the 
realtime weight changing.   I was the first to download your updated 
version! :)

I have a few observations:

- In order to make it work, I had to create the dirs:  /var/log/ipvsman 
and  /var/lib/ipvsman/  the script should either create them by itself 
or ask the user politely do to so, without giving a scary traceback.


- Playing around, I got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ipvsman", line 179, in ?
    gui.main()
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 434, in main
    self.ui.run_wrapper( self.run )
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/urwid/curses_display.py", line 
202, in run_wrapper
    return fn()
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 483, in run
    self.help()
TypeError: 'AttrWrap' object is not callable

and

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ipvsman", line 179, in ?
    gui.main()
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 434, in main
    self.ui.run_wrapper( self.run )
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/urwid/curses_display.py", line 
202, in run_wrapper
    return fn()
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 522, in run
    self.showLog()
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 315, in showLog
    self.makeLog( )
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 303, in makeLog
    self.logText = urwid.ListBox( LineWalker( utils.findActualLogFile() ) )
  File "lib/ipvsman/gui.py", line 29, in __init__
    self.file = open(name)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found


- I would suggest a timed auto-refresh of the stats, with a 'd' command 
to set the delay in seconds, like top

- The table headers (real   weight   conns ... etc) is not aligned to 
the data.

- For the 'totals' line below, write 'Totals:' before printing the 
values to make it clear

- The word 'laden' should be changed to load :)

MfG,
Marc
