The story...
So, I found myself constantly logging into linux boxes... Checking network activity, disk usage, ifconfig, ps aux, df -H, uptime... the list goes on.
I thought to myself: "a server monitoring app would be nice, shouldn't be too hard to find a decent easy-to-use app that integrates with Growl to notify
me if one of my servers needs attention".
Turns out, the application I was looking for did not exist. Don't get me wrong, it's tons of monitoring tools out there, but they're all too complex for
a home server (in my opinion). As my quest to find an app was failing, I decided to write it myself.
Features
-Growl Integration
-Processes Monitoring
-Network Load Graph
-Disk Usage
-Uptime
-SSL encryption
-Speech Notification
-Low memory requirements
-Multiple servers
-Lives in the menubar 
On the server side, it supports all major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian,
Slackware, etc). The server daemon is designed to use as little
memory as possible, making it suitable for embedded systems (tested on TomTom One, Linksys NSLU2 and Linksys WRT54G).
Please note that iLim requires
Mac OS X Snow Leopard (>=10.6.0), because it uses Grand Central Dispatch.
Notifications
With iLim running on your computer you'll get notified if:
-One of your partitions is about to run out of space
-One of your partitions is full
-A monitored process suddenly dies
-Your server is unreachable.
The app can notify you either with Growl notifications, speech or both. You can also easily check your server(s) current state by clicking on the
menubar icon. A small icon (red, yellow, green) indicates the server's condition.
Mixing iLim, an iPhone and Prowl you end up getting notified instantly even when you're away from your mac.
