I like calling die when a problem occurs. I also like having a
wrapper which at some contextual information to the internal logs.
We have a few problems which result in an email being sent to root.
For the most part, we rely on high frequency log parsing. We have a
multitiered alert system, which is controlled by regular expressions
and counters in the log parser. For example, if we get three die
calls of a specific type, we send a page. Otherwise, we send email.
