I look after the I.T needs of several small businesses in the area and i need to monitor their routers, web servers etc and alert me via email or text message if they go down.

mon and PIKT both seem to offer the sort of facilities I assume you'd need. The trouble is that, as a software writer, there's not much middle ground between the roll-your-own SNMP/ICMP-and-some-shell-script and a tool that has to be useful in arbitrarily complex environments (like BB4, mon and PIKT). jd -- John Daragon argv[0] limited john@xxxxxxxxxx Lambs Lawn Cottage, Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton TA3 5SL, UK (house) 01460 234537 (office) 01460 234068 (mobile) 07836 576127 (fax) 01460 234069 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
