D'oh! I meant to mention the cfrun to check cfservd/cfagent, and a mail
message triggered automatically at night from cfagent.conf to verify
cfexecd/cfagent working correctly.
I suppose I should have done the nightly one just as a syslog message or
something like that, since there's already a separate mail check. Hmm
time to go modify things ;)
