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.
