Watchdog::Process, Watchdog::HTTP and Watchdog::Mysql are classes for
monitoring whether a process, http server or mysql server respectively
is functioning.

The module also includes a number of 'monitor' scripts which can be
used with the system monitoring package 'Mon'
(http://kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/).  These scripts make use of the
Watchdog classes and SNMP.

  bin/mysql.monitor (Watchdog::Mysql)
  bin/partition.monitor (SNMP)
  bin/swap.monitor (SNMP)
