Morning LugNuts, Thanks to everyone who helped me get NetSaint going. Got the final bugs worked out over the weekend. Am monitoring 3 hosts and 5 services on the home LAN, and 71 hosts and 127 processes here on the LAN/WAN at work. Special thanks to Gerald. Your users really freak out when you call them and tell their terminals are down before they even know it. 8') I need to download the HOWTO for writing HOWTO's and see what I can come up with, schedule permitting. Later, ER
