It may be worthwhile
to look into cron'ing a couple of jobs that run whatever monitors you want (ps,
top, or whatever), then pipe these to text files in a directory that a
non-root user can get to. Configure your linux monitors in SA to
login as a regular user (not root) to grab the text files, and use these to
pull out the info you need to monitor. It's a bit of overhead to
do this (configuring the cron jobs, scripts, etc), but it would
probably be worth it to protect your root password.

Running scripts on the linux box is probably your best bet. Dirk had a nice
external app that would do telnet and ssh connections to a remote box, but
the app I have included with my version now is telnet only. Perhaps you can
get the ssh version from Dirk and use that to run your remote script to
check up on java.
