Check out www.bb4.com - they've got a GPL app that can monitor all sorts of
stuff and send alerts. If you can write shell scripts, it is simple enough
to add your own monitors.
If you want something quick, just set this script to run via crontab. You
can modify the notfication even to suit your needs. I use the email address
for my cell phone so I get an alphnumeric page.
