I've made cronjobs on the same server as nagios to check that it's
still running - if not, tries to start it. Emails the results.
Bonus points for running on another server as James said<br><font color="#888888"><br></font>Josh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 1:38 PM, James E. Pratt <<a href="mailto:jpratt@norwich.edu">jpratt@norwich.edu</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>Hi. Instead of using nagios, why don't you just put a simple shell<br>
