 When it finishes working through the queue it updates its status files and exits.  '''Note: if you try to kill it with SIGTERM (the normal kill signal) it will finish processing the currently in-progress filesets before quitting.  This can take a while, but it's worth it in terms of cleanup.''' If you need to stop it immediately kill it with SIGKILL (''kill -9'').  You are then responsible for cleanup.

+          where:
+          -v requests verbose output
+          -d requests debugging output
+          --mirrorroot specifies the directory to store the incoming
+            distribution (default /panstarrs/data/MIRROR)
+          --statusfile specifies the name of the .csv file storing
+            information about the last downloaded fileset in each
+            distribution (default product_status.csv)
+          --failurefile specifies the name of the .csv file storing
+            information about filesets for which downloading has failed
+            (default download_failures.csv)
+          --pipecrash specifies the name of the Python .pkl file in which
+            the contents of the working download queue are to be stored
+            in case of an interrupt (default update_mirror_leftover_work.pkl)
+          --logfile specifies the name of the log (default update_mirror.log)
+          --last specifies a filesetID at which to stop downloading
+            (default None)
+
+    NOTE: if you 'kill' this script (with SIGTERM, the default) it will
+    attempt to clean up and take good notes before it dies.  This can
+    take a while as the worker threads finish downloading.  If you must
+    kill it immediately, use 'kill -9'.
