Every Keck instrument has a testAll shellscript to quickly check instrument and server health. It is used by the day crew and SAs as a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool. The script reads telemetries and reports warnings and errors. We will use the HIRES testAll as an example to build the KPF testAll.
Please note that the HIRES testAll script was written in perl which is not standard procedure now. Modern implementations use python and we should do the same.
