And to reply to the original poster: It's really quite trivial to add that precise functionality to nagios, but as I've got more pressing things to do, I'll leave the hacking as an exercise to you. It'll make you feel good when you're done. ;-) -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
