It's been a while since this was discussed on the list, but I also have a use-case where extra args to twistd would be far more useful than any other option. I'm doing a little p2p thing (which I'm sure is not all that uncommon), and of course I want to test aggregate behavior of many instances, so I instantiate 100 or so on my own box. Not being able to pass in extra args to twistd makes this obviously painful, as it adds the extra step of creating a bunch of configuration or a hoard of different tac files, whereas I can spit out a simple script that spawns instances with much more ease and elegance. Just something to chew on as you all think about adding such a feature to twistd. Gary
