Well, David.

Over the past 24 hours or so, I have been doing a lot of work on this project, and, I think, learned a few things.

Yes, I did install snmpd on all of the remote machines, and I am using that to monitor the load levels.

I am also using the Nagios NRPE remote daemon to monitor some other values.  I may not have spent enough time working on the "using SSH" solution, but I never got that running correctly, so am glad that the other two are working.


Thanks for the help.
