popup

[Frederik Vanhee]

Hello Toto,

jabber is really easy to set up. I followed these instructions : 
http://linuxgazette.net/112/tomar.html
The jabber server was running within an hour.
I use the notification script of David Cox, that I found on Nagiosexchange.

On the PC-side, I use GAIM to read the messages.
My end-users are very happy with that solution.

Frederik
