[clug] really customisable system monitor

[David Schoen]

Hi,

Does anyone know of anything that sits in either the system tray or
that I can insert on to a gnome-panel that will let me write custom
scripts and have it run them at custom intervals and will notify me
appropriately depending on values that I define?

Even something close would be good, lots of what I want to do will
essentially reuse nagios check_${stuff} scripts so if it has
compatibility with that, that'd be a bonus.

I'm looking for something that will let me:
 * Watch many remote nagios instances without having to start firefox
(nagios-checker)
 * Check custom "success" values for lots of scripts that run on my
machine (backups, synchronisations between desktops/laptops,
republishing of calendars in to public_html/*.ics files, pushing of
html org-mode files, the list goes on...)
 * Being able to graph anything numerical and provide history of
states on anything that's not would get huge bonus points

I've looked high and low and can't find anything. I was about to start
writing something when I figured I would ask if someone already had
something.

Cheers,
Dave
