Hello Paul,

I thought about doing that as well, but I'm wondering if there is
something that already exists. (No sense in reinventing the wheel.)
Also, feeding the info to a database so trending information would be
available as well would probably be a nice feature.
Well I wasn't looking for it :) I reinvented it, because I needed to
learn the shell a bit better than I knew at that time.
I hope that there are alternatives out there.. :).
The problem I have is I have one server running everything: list
software (mailman), smtp (postfix), imap (courier-imapd), web
(apache13/mod_ssl), webmail (squirrelmail), dns (bind9) and bulletin
board software (ultimatebb). The website gets over 5 million
hits/month, so I don't want to add any more daemons, if I don't have to.
Something that spawns a short-term shell or process daily in the early
morning hours would probably be the best solution.
I think you would like to continuously monitor your services, not just
on those early morning hours. Continuous monitoring is nice thing.
Take munin as example, it has two ports, munin-main (as master doing all
the work) and munin-node (small daemon listening on port 4949 -
configurable - just providing information for munin-main on demand).
Also nagios could be (recommended) running its main part outside that
one heavyused server.
Cheers,
Martin
