UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am supposed to create the website to perform some monitoring and management activities on unix server.

Activities includes cpu usage,displays currently runing processes,deleting files on the server and so on.

Please tell which is best web based language(.net or java) to develop the tasks which is like above specified.

and also tell whether can i use snmp to monitor unix server

Thank you

Why reinvent when there are plenty out there in open source...

Find one that suits you and use it, and if you are good at programming why not help the development by joining the team?

The best idea would be to use Opensource tool like Nagios - Nagios: Home it is very popular and widely used application. You don't need any specific progamming language.

All the activities that you have mentioned can be monitored from Nagios with graphs as well, it uses SNMP.

Exactly, I didnt want to influence on the choices...
And for example Nagios would be pleased to have new force participating in plug-in development...
