There are free solution like Cacti or Nagios which can provide all you have mentioned for free.
Personaly i use Cacti, i have been able to demonstrate that it is working with all stuff required (alerting, capacity planing, equipment support).

It is also completely open source, so you can hack around it (it is php / mysql / apache).

A shell script based solution will be hard to implement to work on all unix/linux operating systems (it can be done, but it will require much more effort).
It will be a monster script at the end if you wish to support everything Smilie

That is why folks use SNMP and/or agent based monitoring with central system.

NAME
script - Makes a transcript of terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [file] The script command makes a transcript of everything printed on your terminal. OPTIONS
Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file. OPERANDS
The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the session. If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written. DESCRIPTION
The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given. If no file name is given, the transcript is saved in the file typescript. The script ends when the forked shell exits. This program is useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might create an example of a working session this way). If you specify the -a option and the file does not exist, it is created. If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is replaced. RESTRICTIONS
The script command requires a streams based terminal. In single user mode, streams may not be enabled. Under these circumstances, script will exit with no action. If you are the superuser and need to run this command in single user mode, use the following special instruc- tions. Enabling Streams If it is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams. This command is avail- able to the superuser only. SEE ALSO
