We here at work are at the mercy of the Linux Administrators to do their jobs. Since they can't seem to do this and our /var partition ran out of space Friday our Oracle Applications crashed. It looks like we will have to monitor the health of our RH Enterprise 2.x server to make sure this doesn't happen again. Is there any good piece of free open source software that does such a job?
We use simple perl/bash scripts that collect command line information (ps aux, df -h, ifconfig, etc) then call them via a cron job that is piped to the mail command. It's a simple way to get a daily status report for each server via email.
