Hello Nat,

I am assuming that commenting the

self.start_xmlrpc_server()

Will sever the connection with coot right. So is the option then for a
phenix.validate talking to coot session for molprobity assisted rebuilding
to have phenix write out the external gui ..and then just close or kill the
phenix session?
