Recently posted to CPAN.  Here's a description and release notes.


Watchdog::Process, Watchdog::HTTP and Watchdog::Mysql are classes for
monitoring whether a process, http server or mysql server respectively
is functioning.  The Watchdog module also includes a number of 'monitor'
scripts which can be used with the system monitoring package 'Mon'
(http://consult.ml.org/~trockij/mon).  Some of these scripts make use
of the Watchdog::* classes, others make use of SNMP.  For more details
see the embedded pod.

Release 0.04
- Classes renamed (suggested by Tim Bunce).
    Watchdog::Service => Watchdog::Process
    Watchdog::HTTPService => Watchdog::HTTP
    Watchdog::MysqlService => Watchdog::Mysql
- Watchdog::Process de-coupled from other classes as Proc::ProcessTable only
  compiles on Linux and Solaris.
- Watchdog::Mysql::is_alive() returns reason for failure.
- Added 'Mon' monitors
- t/{mysql.t,process.t} now skipped if prerequisites not installed
