PagerUnit

A simple Nagios alternative made to look like unit tests.

This is probably a bad idea but I wanted to get something on paper (as it were) so I could get back to real work.

Usage

Configure PagerUnit so it can send email in /etc/pagerunit.cfg or ~/.pagerunit.cfg:

[mail]
address = recipient@example.com

[smtp]
password = password
port = 587
server = smtp.gmail.com
username = sender@gmail.com

Define some tests a la Nose:

def foo():
    """
    Docstring for foo.
    """
    assert False, 'Assertion for foo.'

Run them every 10 seconds:

pagerunit --loop example.py
