Thanks for the input.  I also found Big Sister, which looks pretty nice.
Not sure which one I'll use, but this gives me lots to evaluate!

Hey Bill,
If not, what do folks recommend for service monitoring?
monit[1] and monitord[2]. I mainly use FreeBSD and OpenBSD boxes right 
now, and I couldn't get monitord to run on OpenBSD, so I've switched to 
monit. There's a security warning roaming about on monit and http, so 
don't get bitten.

For remote services, look at nefu[3]. It does dependencies (yay!) and is 
a breeze to set up (yay again!). Dunno about nagios.

Nagios.

I have used it at my current and previous employer and it works very
well.  Many more features than mon IMO.
