Create a passive check that fires from an e-mail received, and times out if
no relevant e-mail is received for a period of time, so the check can go
critical if no e-mail is received (to say "cfagent doesn't appear to be
running") or it can also go critical (or warning) when an e-mail is received
that contains evidence of work being done (I tend to use cfagent -I, so I
would probably check to see if any output was printed in the e-mail).
No cfengine hacking required!
