[ILUG] how to monitor 25 different Unix machines

[Dermot Daly]

Hi Hrishy,
See John Looney's "tip of the day" earlier this week (check the
archives).  It begins:
"If you are looking after machines, check out nagios"

Cheers,
Dermot.

Subject: [ILUG] how to monitor 25 different Unix machines


Hi

I am a new Junior System Administartor..currently in
our team we have around 25 different machines
comprising of different flavours of Unix ...and every
morning we telent into the system to check 
1)all demons are workin fine
2)all cpus are up
3)the memory is okay

But telnetting into 25 machines is a pain..i am
planning to write a shell script taht will
automatically sned out a mail to me incase there is a
problem with any of the above..any ideas on how to
start this..i would just need a pointer or an
idea..then i would convert the idea into a shell
script...or is there any better way to do it..

regards
Hrishy
