Hold a minute.
I like Nagios and think it does a great jobs in many ways but the Tim
tools is far more simple and if you don't need all Nagios' features
it's far more logical to use his tool since it provides all basic
information without all complexity and software requirements of
Nagios.
Besides, it's natural to us try to write better suitable alternatives
to solve our problems otherwise we would never have Linux ;-)
