[Tutor] System Monitoring

[Nitin Pawar]

We use nagios for all of our monitoring which provides central information
for all machines

its ok to use shell scripts to do system level monitoring (minimal level)
but if you have complex monitoring on java programs and all then use jmax
etc

Thanks,
Nitin
