Look into snmp. Basically, all you'd need to do is run an snmp daemon on the machine (snmpd) and query the machine's status at regular intervals with an snmp agent (snmpwalk). You can retrive statistcs on network usage, drive space, system load, or any number of other system vital signs. You can graph the results with a package like mrtg (suggested in a previous response). -- Jon Parise (parise@pobox.com) .
