+Spinner is a small program that displays a little "spinning" ASCII 
+character in the top left corner of your terminal. To make this effect 
+it cycles through punctuation marks like this " - \ | / - \ | / ... " 
+(try it to see). By default the character is drawn in inverse video 
+(or your terminal's equivalent). But you can turn this off with the -i 
+switch. It supports any terminal capable of handling VT100 style escape codes.
+
+Spinner is useful for keeping telnet and ssh links from dropping due to 
+inactivity. Many firewalls, and some ISPs drop connections when they are 
+perceived as idle. By having spinner running the server is constantly 
+sending a tiny amount of data over the link, preserving the connection. 
+Thus (for search engines) Spinner is an anti-dle, timeout preventing, 
+background daemon process for unix variants including linux.
