About

A little tool to help you with a Linux distribution upgrade (like apt-get dist-upgrade).

• checkprocs - a self-containted script to check whether we have the same processes running before and after an upgrade.

• checkprocs.t - tests to verify the checkprocs script.

Running

Just download the script and run it. Something like:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jreisinger/checkprocs/master/checkprocs && chmod u+x checkprocs
./checkprocs -h

Testing

To test checkprocs (ex. when you are a developer adding new features) manually:

[perlbrew exec] prove checkprocs.t

I wrote this tool while upgrading my $employer's servers.
