+NetSaint is a program that will monitor hosts and services
+on your network. It has the ability to email or page you
+when a problem arises and when it gets resolved. NetSaint
+is written in C and is designed to run under Linux, although
+it should work under most other *NIX variants. It can run
+either as a normal process or as a daemon, intermittently
+running checks on various services that you specify. The
+actual service checks are performed by external "plugins"
+which return service information to NetSaint. Several CGI
+programs are included with NetSaint in order to allow you
+to view the current service status, history, etc. via a web browser.
