yup, however be aware that certain tests this program does are *really
hard* on the machine, like searching all 65535 possible pid's and scannine
every file on the machine, this might create performance issues...

Make sure anything run from etc/cron.xxx is writable only by root or you
will create your very own securrity hole ;)
