[IMC-Tech] Server/Transmitter Room Issues

[dan blah]

this is a good idea.  i have been setting up nagios service and
network monitoring for all of the servers currently up there... but i
havent finished yet.  as it is right now the few poor souls that are
very dependent on imsahp being up are our monitoring software (big
thanks to sascha, zach, mike, everyone else... you know who you are.).

its been kind of a craze that last couple months with adding
infrastructure to the imc for both chambana.net and cuwin projects.
that said with august starting there should be more time for such
things.  also, if anyone has linux/bsd administration experience and
wants to donate those skills we could get a lot of things done
quicker, else you will just have to wait for zach and i.
