- This directory contains the source code and executable for the
- Shepherd program.
-
- WHAT IS IT?
- Shepherd is a utility which monitors stand-alone information
- servers like Gopher, WAIS, WWW, Jughead, and Submit to make sure
- they are responding. If they don't respond then they are
- restarted automatically. It is intended for Unix Systems since
- it uses /etc/rc.local to get a list of servers to check and
- should be run by the crontab every 5 or 10 minutes. Works great!
