Thanks, I hadn't seen Bitten before, I'll check it out.

The phpUnderControl site looks like it provides a lot of data. I
generally am not a fan of Java (which CruiseControl requires), but it
might be worth the work.

My goal was a simple process that would run arbitrary commands (with
the obvious target being the unit tests) for each revision of -trunk
and optionally do something with the output of those commands. This
was a simple task and it is already done. That said, my few lines of
PHP is probably not going to beat out the other systems out there :-)

source of unit tests out there that I had missed.
