When we halt, we set the thread_run variable to false and then wait for all the threads to end naturally. Threads like the overseer and listener threads are stuck waiting for new connections or for new data before they check the condition on their while loops. We need a better way of handling those threads, or at least of cleaning up their resources so we can have their sockets back.

need to have it respond to different commands

also need to clean up the config file, 'cuz message subject is no longer determined by it

should also look into lists in config files, for multiple email recipients

either load from a config file at runtime or add arguments for a command line call, but we need a way around manually setting port/IP data

could (and should) be done with an action(state) reducer and enums

e.g.

timestamp_is_old(canary_never_seen) -> canary_never_seen
timestamp_is_old(canary_is_alive) -> canary_is_dead
timestamp_is_current(canary_is_alive) -> canary_is_alive
timtestamp_is_current(canary_is_dead) -> canary_is_alive

so on

this would be much more readable than the weird if-elif-else mayhem that's going on

.ini is stupid, and we should use something better. json is magical, and we should use it.

timeout override and debug mode (so we don't spam live email list when we're testing updates)

have the Listener threads collect data and take the averages, then write the data to a local sqlite3 DB in minute increments.
