Ldirectord and custom scripts

[Paulo F. Andrade]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has changed ldirectord to allow for custom  
health checking scripts. I know I can add perl code to ldirectord so  
that it can test my service, but that would be cumbersome.
I was thinking more along the line of being able to execute a custom  
script (in C, python, bash whatever) and checking it's return status  
to judge the server's health.
This would add greater flexibility to ldirectord. And I'm guessing  
someone has already thought of this.
If no-one has made an effort to do this, I'll try and do myself!  
(just have to learn perl first :) )

Thank you for your time!
