Whatsup Gold seems expensive for what it is though. Or at least it was last
I heard.
There are shareware/freeware packages which come very close.

Servers Alive, I used a while ago, which at that time was free for up to ten
devices and very cheap for over ten. I tried a load of others at the same
time for a specific task. Servers Alive came out on top at the time as it
was one of the few that as well as being able to execute a command line on
failure of a device (which most of the packages allowed), it also allowed
the same on recovery of the device (which a lot of the others did not).
It also converted and ran well as a service.
Kiwi's Cat Tools very handy too.

Don't get me wrong. We run all sorts of management applications which we pay
through the nose for (HP NNM, CWSI2000), but there are times when the task
fits a cheaper solution, and one that doesn't take a week to install and
configure.

Anybody else found useful cheaper solutions?
