In this email, I had asked if anyone could help me find a way to effectively monitor the status of critical server nodes on our LAN. I was immediately bombarded with a storm of email messages containing helpful recommendations. The majority recommended I try the Big Brother System and Network Monitor found in /usr/ports/net/bb or http://www.bb4.com/ This is the solution I've decided to go with and so far, I'm extremely impressed with it. The configuration was minimal and I was able to have it up and running in no time. Our MIS department now has a nice looking and centrally located place to get information on all of our NT and IBM iSeries (AS/400) servers. All of my managers have been really impressed and now I'm scheduled to demo the capabilities of FreeBSD and Big Brother for our office director next week. Though I'm extrememly happy and impressed with Big Brother, I'm even more impressed with the prompt and helpful responses I got from everyone on this list. You all are a credit to the BSD community! Thank you so much! Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
