in thread Perlish alternative to CruiseControl (automated builds)?

Right, I think I see what you mean: cron the make command directly, and then right after that cron a script that checks if there's any new email.

Thanks.

    Uh, no. Write a script that does everything (run make, check email, etc). Cron that.

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

      Or add a make target which depends on a successful build and test and mails any results, then run that directly from cron.
