If that's all that's required, then the check_http plug-in provided
by Nagios will do the trick. There's an option to check the html for
the presence of a text specific string (maybe "Search/Results.rdf" -
you'll only get this string after successfully logging in). Saves
you the trouble of writing your own monitoring script, but only if
you are already using Nagios.

What's the best way to monitor RT? Are there any built in pages
that would
let us quickly tell that (say)
1: users can log in
2: the RT web application has a live connection to a working
database
If #1 is true, then, #2 is true as well. (You need to get to the db
to check the user.) So just a simple scripted login test will do
you. Or a GET of a page with user and pass passed in as parameters.
