The <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/testresults/">LLVM Nightly Testers</a>
automatically check out an LLVM tree, build it, run the "nightly"
program test (described above) and all of the regression tests, then
delete the checked out tree. This tester is designed to ensure that
programs don't break as well as keep track of LLVM's progress over time.</p>
<p>
If you'd like to set up an instance of the nightly tester to run on your
machine, take a look at the comments at the top of the utils/NightlyTester.pl
file. We usually run it from a crontab entry that looks ilke this:

</pre>
<p>
Take a look at the NightlyTest.pl file to see what all of the flags and
strings do. If you start running the nightly tests, please let us know and
we'll link your page to the global tester page. Thanks!
