One of my customers has an interest in a commercially or freely available
sysmon monitor to run on an HP 9000/800 O/S release A.09.00.  This monitor
would have the following capabilities.

1.  given a list of processes, periodically wake up and find out if the
process was still present on the system.  probably search for processes
by name.

2.  If a process dies, have a logging function, with a hook to a user
written notification system to alert a sysop/sysadmin.

Thanks in advance for your help!
