this still may be overkill, but nagios (http://www.nagios.org/ | was netsaint) comes highly recommended over big brother, from what i've heard. when i worked in the isp space (lycos - matchmaker.com) we used nothing but big brother, the ease of customization (everything could be done with a bash script, no perl experience needed) was a great help. we had it restart services if needed and alert on them. just the initial setup was a nightmare, but it may have improved over the last 3 years. -d ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Haney <mark.haney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 11:05:50 -0400 To: "fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Decent Open Source Service Monitor app > I'm looking for a good open source service monitor.
