The first wish is a very good one. I guess we all are frustrated with the numerous missed 1 situations. A second poll in xxx seconds could help this enormeously. Obviously, the extra polling time needs to go towards the full polling cycle for the map. So extra care has to be taken in not making the extra polls too long.

Wish #2 is that when defining a custom service you could run any command on the server and just look at the return code (0 or 1) as to whether it passed or failed. It would also be nice if in the definition of the service you could define a variable like $* for the options to be passed to the command when run. Then on a map object, you could define this custom service and there would be a text string field where you could enter the arguments/options to be passed to the command to be run as specified in the in the custom service by the $* This way Perl (for example) or any other scripting language could be used on the WUG server to write custom service monitors.... Hell if you had other boxes around and set up a batch with a pscp.exe command to run a remote command on a UNIX box or a router or whatever you could check just about anything. -Ben.
