in reply to [OT] Monitoring a website

I monitor my home network and servers through NAGIOS and now that there have been a few recent updates to Nagios::Plugin I will probably extend the monitoring through home-grown Nagios-Perl plugins.

The combination of Nagios and Perl seems to open a wide expanse of monitoring possibilities.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
