Big Brother is a bit much for what most people need. While it is a great tool, and I've setup quite a few BB servers, for basic monitoring its overkill.
If you're running it under UNIX, goto http://freshmeat.net and look around. Theres atleast a dozen simple network projects. Also keep in mind BB doesn't use SNMP, you have to add that feature in, so if you plan on expanding into more detailed checkings on your router, you're gonna need to pay a visit to deadcat (yes, the name of the BB extensions/modules site is http://www.deadcat.net) BB is a great tool, its got great features, but if you want something REALLY simple, look around freshmeat. Btw, BB can be found at http://www.bb4.com -jeff On Sat, 29 Dec 2001, c1sc0k1d wrote: > Search for Big Brother > > The k1d > > > > ""2387"" wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Hello, I am looking for a simple program to monitor an ip and email me > when > > it > > goes up or down.
