Jim-

Personally, I like Nagios because you can make it monitor literally 
-anything-.

In a previous life, we had it monitoring the server room door.  If it 
was open for more than ~5 minutes, it "nagged" us.

Then again, it all depends on how much you care.  For me, these days 
caring doesn't happen often so I'd probably use The Dude. ;-)
