At ${JIOB-1} our health check scripts were decoupled from Slurm and run from 
cron.  They wrote their status into a file in /dev/shm on successful completion 
so Slurm could just poll that - the idea being to try and reduce the chance 
the check would hang due a system issue and stop slurmd responding.

All the best,
