It occurs to me that that if I wanted to build a health check watchdog for my system (a script that executes at regular intervals to ensure proper operation), that the Test::* mechanisms would be pretty ideal for checking the results and reporting the proper errors.
I can't be treading new ground here. Has anyone done this already and could pass along pointers, or better yet, working code? [Aside - is Test::Cmd considered current tech? It hasn't been updated in two years... is there a better way?] Thanks. -- Randal L.
