RE: FW: [TEC] How to monitor the availability of TEC

There is another approach to monitoring TEC availability and event processing in
the Gulf Breeze newsletter. Basically, this approach sends a single event to
TEC every 3 minutes - a rule triggers a script that touches a marker file. A
cron job fires and checks for the marker file. A calculation is performed to
tell you  how long it took to process the event as well.
