Lots of school class code ends up in production, so why not pretend harder and get extra points? It just feels like teaching bad practice.

cron has startup costs for each test, but solves the restart on reboot problem intrinsically.

By service you just mean nohup daemon looping, sleeping? Well, after you solve the reboot problem, the total might be more complex than a good cron line. Most of the effort goes into data processing to turn the points into a report. I suppose you could look at (today) 3:05 and see the system has been up from 2010-09-31 08:35 to (today) 3:00 and just update it to say 3:05, but then you might get an error when half updated or something such. If you mmap() a file, it could be a binary update of one int.

TEMPLATE(7)					   SQL Commands 				      DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the text search template if any objects depend on it.  This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such dictionar-
