For goodness sake, I only offered it to someone who wanted something
simple and an alternative to snmp.
That will be the *last* time I offer anything on this list :) I'm not
competing with nagios, I don't want to spend time writing a complex
network monitor, all I wanted to do was share something useful as-is. He
didn't want a network monitor, all he wanted was vitals and hardware
info.
The code is there, its free. If you find it useful for something, use
it, else don't .. I really don't care :)
