PIFIA

PIFIA is a collection of files and conventions to get your servers look at themselves and act if they see something wrong (trying to fix it, telling you, or both). To make this easy to handle, there is a file to be included in your objects.conf file (with #include <pifia.conf>, yes). A pifia.conf file looks like this (yes, usual disclaimers about content updating apply):

      path = '<#$picabin#>/scheduler';
