====== Servicemon ======

This is more of a todo-list than a blueprint.

===== Todo =====

  * make .descr parser a little more robust (it doesn't handle empty arguments (like 'args=')
  * fix version checking in DNS checker
  * write a new checkservice?
  * update copyright notices and encodings for library

===== Done =====

  * use library to fix [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/545029|LP#545029]]
  * add a library function that checks if a command exists and is executable (and returns the full path to the command.)
  * remove getRequiredArguments() from all checkers (it is never called, and just confuses anyone who works on the code)
  * replace timeoutsocket.py with builtin standard Python socket methods settimeout() and makefile('r+')
  * remove core.py (which is no longer used)
  * remove duplicate code from http/https checkers (done)
  * update copyright notices in checkers
  * add new DHCP checker
