Hi All,

Has anyone around used symon?
http://www.xs4all.nl/~wpd/symon/documentation.html

I just discovered it as I was setting up shell-script based rrd data collectors...

I'm not so excited about the collector/sensor model, (I'd typically rather continue ssh rpc via underprivileged users, over adding another network daemon to babysit), but the rest of the app looks extremely compelling...  And nice tools to get stats from PF, (better than I was scripting out).
It also still looks like a simple UNIX utility, not like other stats/monitoring/notification mega-tools, (which I prefer to stay far away from).

Anyone used this?  Hearsay of others using it?
