/**

 * This application will check your server swap, hard drive, cpu, and MySQL conditions.
 * It will then generate an appropriate XML file for a Pingdom HTTP Custom check.
 *
 * If any usage is above your preset thresholds, then a down message will be returned,
 * indicating that your server may be under more load than usual, hopefully, providing
 * a bit of advanced notice before a true failure due to lack of resources
