project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Hudson focuses on the
following two jobs:
1. Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl
or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Hudson provides an easy-to-use so-called
continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate
changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh
build. The automated, continuous build increases the productivity.
2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and
procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with
cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is
up to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Hudson keeps
those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.
