I am thinking of setting up a network monitoring tool. My needs are fairly simple, I just want to be alerted somehow if the temperature on our file server gets too high. That's the minimum. I'm sure I could think of other things to do eventually. But I don't want to have to run X to access the setup or the monitoring interface. I would prefer a command line interface. Anybody have any experience with that? Doing an apt-cache search leads me to nagios and spong. But I would like to know if either is preferable if you're working from the command line. -- John Heim jheim at math.wisc.edu 3-4189
