Patrick- I don¹t know if you want to look at another commercial solution, but we use NetIQ AppManager (http://www.netiq.com/products/am/default.asp) instead of sysEdge. It can detect (and act on) hung processes, among other things, but the agents do not respond to SNMP like sysEdge. Instead, there is a central AppManager server that traps to Spectrum, and we wrote a southbound gateway integration for it. I can provide more details off-list if you¹d like.
