This is something that I am looking for a way to check on an 8.1.7 database running on 
NT without me physically having to login myself.  Is there some automated way to do 
this, that maybe can send an email to a computer operator??

Thanks,

Dave

Personally, I think that many folks go a bit overboard when
it comes to checking the health of a database.

These are the things I like to check for:

* is the database up?  this is the most important tech check
* status of jobs in DBA_JOBS
* space issues.  Will a table be able to extend N times
   without error?
* are the users happy?  This is actually more important
  than any of the technical issues.

There's a lot of other things you can check, but personnaly, I
quit checking them long ago. 

I do log a few things from the database, and periodically store 
the explain plans for SQLin the cache for troubleshooting later 
the things go awry.   This is really not part of a periodic 
health check though, this is a whole different matter.

One thing to keep in mind: Rolling your own helps you to
understand what's being monitored.  :)
