I have been to fast. When double checking the update job today, I
noticed that Parsoid is not restart because of some user credentials
issues (script run as 'mwdeploy' which lacks ssh credentials to connect
to the parsoid instance).

Got two changes pending:

 - one to freeup file descriptors when restarting parsoid:

 - the other adapt the beta autoupdater to use a tiny shell wrapper
which execute remote commands to the parsoid instance

cheers,
