[TIP] How would you test something that deals with processes?

[John Anderson]

I wrote this script that monitors memory usage of processes and kills them
if they get too high.  I'm having a hard time figuring out how to test
something like this.

Would you just mock out the process list and test that if you pass it a
process list it calls send_signal?  Thats what i'm thinking about doing but
would like to hear other peoples opinions!
