You can get the program that I've written, you can teach it network dependencies, and various other good things.. I'm trying to get a few more features and bugfixes into it before I make my next "official" release, but you can get it from ftp://puck.nether.net/pub/jared/sysmon-0.77-pre.tar.gz It takes sighups, and lots of other neato things... with curses, java, and even a python client to talk to the server. It's unix based, and should build out of the box on any system with gcc. I'm happy to accept bug reports and feature requests. - Jared -- ----------------- [email protected] - Nether Network ------------------ CICNet/IAGNet/NetherNet - finger [email protected] for pgp key
