I have a beat of my network monitoring program that I've written slowly over the past 2 years available for ftp also, you can teach it things like network dependencies, single points of failure fairly simply in a easy to use configuration file, it can check imap, pop3, smtp, nntp and other services.. I wasn't going to post something to the lists until I had done some more rewrites to some sections of code, but people should feel free to test it out and comment on it.. You can get it from ftp://puck.nether.net/pub/jared Feel free to contact me directly about any problems you have with it. - jared David Hares - ADP Autonet boldly claimed: > > I would like to solicit recommendations for network monitoring utilities. > We are attempting to monitor around a thousand nodes (and growing).
