I have used MON and it doesn't only monitors but it allows you to take some
action when the monitor program reports failure and then again when it
comes back up.

Just goes to show that change is a constant in Open Source... If Nagios
had
been around when we wrote the book, I'm certain we would have looked at it
instead. :-)
As the website states, Nagios is the descendant of Netsaint (Netsaint is
dead, long live Netsaint), even to the point of supporting Netsaint
plugins.
I might have a stab at migrating my Netsaint installation to Nagios, and
report how I progress...
Ganglia looks *very* interesting, but on a whole other level... The
monitor
component looks similar to what Netsaint/Nagios provides, but I'm not sure
it has the alerting and mapping features.
Cheers,
Vic Cross
