I used Pingdom until they started to send marketing to the address I gave them for paging. Anturis has a free level which will work for what you want. They don't send marketing to the paging address, and you can specify several users with different rights. What I rely on, though, is mon. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/ Yes, it's written in Perl. Yes, it was last updated in 2001. No, it doesn't have a fancy HTML5 GUI. Still works really well, and writing a new monitor for it is quite simple. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
