I use a bunch of little Rexx execs, tied together. We divide the Linux machines into required and "normally needed" groups.
For each machine, worse case is we issue a PING. Any pings that fail, need to be looked at. For the Oracle machines, we issue a SQLPLUS script to verify the database is alive and well. Same for the DB2 machines. For FTP servers, we issue a FTP script. For Samba servers, we connect to the FS. etc. If any command fails, Operations knows there is a problem. Usually, someone is calling about a problem, and the command is used to see if things are well inside the mainframe.
