This directory contains the source code and executable for the
Shepherd program.

WHAT IS IT?
Shepherd is a utility which monitors stand-alone information
servers like Gopher, WAIS, WWW, Jughead, and Submit to make sure
they are responding.  If they don't respond then they are
restarted automatically.  It is intended for Unix Systems since
it uses /etc/rc.local to get a list of servers to check and
should be run by the crontab every 5 or 10 minutes.  Works great!
