   You seem to miss my point - I'm sysadmin, _not_ webmaster, so those
scripts are not mine. Let every person handle he's own set of tasks ;)
I just want to ensure that apache+php (or +CGI or whatever) will not
access broken DB before it's repaired. There is a non-zero probability
for DB to be damaged due to power supply outage, but 'mysqlcheck -r'
always fixes those damages for me - so why don't automate this procedure?
