ANNOUNCE: moomps-0.9

[Jean-Luc Fontaine]

Moomps is a monitoring daemon which works using configuration 
(dashboard) files created by the moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic 
SpreadSheet) graphical application. The configuration files contain the 
definition of thresholds, which when crossed, trigger the sending of 
email alert messages.

This is the initial release (beta quality). Moomps is actually part of 
moodss, now at release 15.0.

When running, moomps periodically checks the threshold conditions and 
eventually send email alerts to the adresses defined for those 
thresholds in the configuration files, which can load any number of 
modules (existing, such as system, database, network types, or custom 
written by you in either Tcl, Perl, Python or C). Those modules are 
actually also used by the moodss graphical monitoring application.
