 The Exit Scanner should have a better wrapper, similar to that which we
 have for the Bw Authorities. This wrapper should check to see if a usable
 Tor is running, and if not launch it. It should check to see if a crashed
 soat run exists, and if so, use it to resume. It should also install the
 crontab for snakeinspector if it has not been installed.

 Additionally, the cron.sh script should be saving the last time it ran
 successfully, and using that time to display new results, so that if
 snakeinspector begins crashing and then is fixed it will automatically
 mail results since the last successful run.
