Synopsis
mod_servicestatus
is one of the latest RSS
1.0 modules. Its purpose is to allow RSS 1.0 to display details of
the status and current availability of services and
servers.

parsing stage. This means that one feed can be used for multiple
things: a detailed display for sysadmins, and a simplified version
for end users.

. As with many modules, all of these elements
are optional, but the more you include the more fun
you’ll have.
