+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# healthd -- 	This is a simple daemon which can be used to alert you in the
+#		event of a hardware health monitoring alarm by sending an 
+#		email to the value of ADMIN_EMAIL (defined below).
+#
+# To Use  --	Simply start the daemon from a shell (may be backgrounded)
+#
+# Other details -- Checks status every 15 seconds.  Sends warning emails every
+#		   ten minutes during alarm until the alarm is cleared.
+#		   It won't start up if there is a pending alarm on startup.
+#		   Very low loading on the machine (sleeps almost all the time).
+#		   This is just an example.  It works, but hopefully we can
+#		   get something better written. :')
+#
+# Requirements -- grep, mail, sensors, bash
+#		  (You may need to alter the PATH, but probably not.)
