Description

Type enhancement
Created 2013-04-12 15:19:42Z

twisted.conch.manhole_tap has a useful utility function to create a manhole service, but it is not a good interface for applications other than twistd. Besides having a function not tied to a command-line interface, it'd be nice to be able to specify an arbitrary checker.

Research direction

Start by reading twisted.conch.manhole_tap and its existing manhole-service utility. Determine how to expose the service independently of twistd and allow an arbitrary checker, then identify the relevant Conch tests and verify both Telnet and SSH behavior.
