+Reported by bXXX.rXXX@oXXX.com, Mar 11, 2011
+
+I found the need to have a nice start / stop / restart wrapper for
+shellinabox, and a quick way to add new configurations and URLS.
+Attached is a file that does just that.
+
+It is ruby based, and expects a conf directory in the shellinthebox
+home directory.  All file(s) placed in the conf directory will become
+a URL for shellinthebox, and the contents of the file(s) will be the
+command run.
+
+Ex : conf/nethack    -> http://localhost:4200/nethack
+/conf/nethack contents -> /usr/games/nethack
+
+When you run the wrapper script (siab.rb) it will start up shellinabox
+and the url will be active and you can play nethack in shellinabox.
+
+It has been great for tossing in files with other services and
+restarting shellinabox and testing.  (siab.rb restart)
+
+There can certainly be more done, and bulletproofing but, I though you
+might be able to use it.

+#  DESCRIPTION: a ShellInAbox control script and configuration system reader. 
+#               To auto-configure a shellinabox service create a conf directory
+#               in the shellinabox home dir.  The URL will be the name of the file(s)
+#               that reside in conf, and the command will be the contents of the file.
+#
+#               EX configuration file :  conf/nethack
+#               conf/nethack contents :  /usr/games/nethack
+#
+#               Change the value of @siab_home to where you install shellinabox
