You should check out conky: /usr/ports/sysutils/conky
If you install this + X client on the remote computers, you can then do xhost +server_ip ssh server_ip export DISPLAY=desktop_ip:0.0 conky & exit Its not the best way but hey its quick. You'll need to set own_window yes on the remote servers in ~/.conkyrc I tend to run it on my desktop and set it to on_windows no If you have a spotting network connection this blows. Also, checkout /usr/ports/sysutils/monit There's always the time honored snmp+mgrt combos Finally, checkout /usr/ports/net/nagios Ticketmaster uses this but on Redhat AS 3 boo! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip M.
