<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good morning:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I run Red Hat Linux and Mapserver 3.5, I was
wondering if any of you could point me to some free server monitoring software
(PERL, C, C++). I run the UNIX command `top` every now and again to see
how long my processes take and how much memory, but I'm looking for something
automated and configurable-not me sitting and watching processes float to the
top of the process control manager.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically I want to make a process that continually
monitors the web related processes (maybe by username or
command), printing a process log similar to the apache logs.
This process-watcher might kill process that use to much memory, then write the
process information to a log so that I could review the culprit processes and
how they were instantiated. The more I think about this email, its
probably already a module for Apache--any feedback would be
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know this a mapping community, I apologize
to anyone who disagrees with the context, but I know we are all
concerned about web server performance.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your time.</FONT></DIV>
