    recovery daemon needs to monitor when the local ctdb daemon is stopped and ensure that the databases gets frozen and the node enters recovery mode

commit d6ddea4167ccdad05e88378ee3f22b6125969562
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 9 13:07:15 2009 +1000

    document the new commands ctdb stop/continue

commit 501a2747d839ca291b70c761098549cf6d47a158
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 9 13:20:14 2009 +1000

    dont let other nodes modify the STOPPED flag for the local process when pushing out flags changes

commit 54b4a02053a0f98f8c424e7f658890254023d39a
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 9 12:22:46 2009 +1000

    add two new controls, CTOP_NODE and CONTINUE_NODE
    that are used to stop/continue a node instead of using modflags messages

commit 866aa995dc029db6e510060e9e95a8ca149094ac
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 9 11:57:20 2009 +1000

    make it possible to start the daemon in STOPPED mode

commit 049271c83a09afb8d6c3e5212cf9ca782956b0c6
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>

    remove the header printed for the machinereadable output for natgwlist

commit d47dab1026deba0554f21282a59bd172209ea066
Author: Ronnie Sahlberg <ronniesahlberg at gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 9 11:38:18 2009 +1000

    Add a new node flag : STOPPED
    This node flag means the node is DISABLED and that all its public ip addresses
    are failed over, but also that it has been removed from the VNNmap.
    
    A STOPPED node should be in recovery mode active untill restarted using the continue command.
    
    Adding two new commands "ctdb stop" "ctdb continue"
