Oh, that's not what I tend to think of as 'admin tool'. I completely agree with you on #1 and also that we need something better for HA. > And even if it weren't people for > good reason don't trust such core aspects to $random_project.

My comment with check_postgres was more of a 'it seems unlikely we would get in something as simple as this', not to suggest in any way that it's the end-all, be-all of monitoring. And now to, unashamedly, push my own agenda- any ideas about something that would help with any of this that could be accomplished over a summer by a student? Even if you don't want to mentor, having a good description, what skills are needed, the difficulty level, and the expected outcomes might allow someone else to mentor... Thanks! Stephen
