Hi,

As a system administrator I often have some small scripts/ 
programs that consume input and produce output for other system

found a way to write unit tests for them. Should I write 
library instead? Is there any framework to write (smoke) tests 
that supports standard output devices?


Thanks for your reading.


So far I have refactored my code to use some public libraries. 
This allows me to write some unit tests. This requires a lot more 
work :)


Sorry for the noise.
