I don't see how I can I do that. Currently the comet actor is setup in a
snippet, see below, how do get a reference to the actor to send it a
message ?
<lift:comet type="WatchDog" name={id} >
<span id="status"><twd:status>Watch dog status</twd:status></span>
</lift:comet>
The id being passed via the name parameter is a reference the job to
monitor. I mention this only as I'm not sure if it's bad form or not.
