Hello all...
Version 0.95 of Big Brother, the Web-based Unix and Network monitor
is available for downloading at http://www.iti.qc.ca/iti/users/sean/
it adds support for OSF, Ultrix and NetBSD from Gunnar Helliesen
<gunnar@bincon.no>.
It's something I wrote to monitor multiple Unix systems, network
connectivity, disk space, processes, etc, and can page you if something
really horrible happens.
Big Brother has programmable triggers, can page you (if you have
kermit and a modem), and displays the current system status on a Web page
(with flashing lights and everything). So when something goes wrong,
you get paged and can check the precise status of things from a Web page.
Automatic configuration is supported for linux, FreeBSD, solaris, hpux10,
and sunos, ultrix, OSF, and NetBSD, but other systems should be easy to
configure.
Written mostly in /bin/sh (yup!) with C for the client-server stuff.
Your comments are appreciated!
