R-U-On = EXCELLENT little tool!

R-U-ON is still in beta, but I'm really excited about this little tool. It runs as a service on your Windows/Linux/Solaris/Mac -based computer and, depending on which free-during-the-beta version of the agent software you install, it will monitor your computer for some basic health alerts and availability, or whether that machine can ping other devices on your network, or whether a given process is still running, or even if the keyboard / mouse are accessed. Nifty, nifty, free-for-now, tool.

Google Desktop has a plugin for the alarms.

Hmm... their central server collects up-time information on my servers, hmm? I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with that.

Do they collect it? It's a reasonable assumption.
