Hey Bill,

> If not, what do folks recommend for service monitoring?

monit[1] and monitord[2]. I mainly use FreeBSD and OpenBSD boxes right 
now, and I couldn't get monitord to run on OpenBSD, so I've switched to 
monit. There's a security warning roaming about on monit and http, so 
don't get bitten.

For remote services, look at nefu[3]. It does dependencies (yay!) and is 
a breeze to set up (yay again!). Dunno about nagios.
