# This script can be from cron to regularly verify that Ledger is
# sane.  Such a cron entry might look like this, assuming you keep a
# recent working tree in ~/src/ledger, and that you want all of the
# temporary build products kept in /tmp:
#
#   0 0 * * * $HOME/src/ledger/run_verify.sh /tmp
#
# Note that this script should be run as root, otherwise it will be
# unable to clean up after itself (since make distcheck creates files
# owned by a different user).  Also, whether on success or failure the
# build log and build products are left in the temporary directory for
# later examination if desired.
