I must have read you the wrong way. Again, I have no desire to compete
with nagios, its just something I had which someone may have been able
to make use of so I linked to it.
Then I get 20+ off list replies about how I should have written it, and
some on list replies telling me nagios is better.. Just not worth the
aggravation when all I was doing was sharing one small building block
that someone else may have been able to make use of in a custom solution
geared for small memory model systems (as I said, its 7k stripped and
rides completely in dentry).
99.9% of the emails I received were downright hostile. Just not worth
it :)
Best,
