[OZAPRS] aprs.net.au Hosting

As you probably know, Installatron does similar if the client enables 
that option.

Sadly some think they know it all, and many have their 
wp/joomla/whatever-cms installed manually, so don't take advantage of 
this feature. These are the ones that never ever check for updates. 
Generally it is the web designer who does it this way, and one can only 
assume to maintain a possible ongoing revenue stream from the customer ? :P

CXS will be a good addon for the rest of the configserver stuff.
