I manage a few Red Hat servers. They manage a series of services, such as autofs, crond, httpd, postfix...
I'd like to use SAM to check the status of these services. They don't always map one-to-one with running processes, so it'd be really cool to ask SAM if, say, the "network" service was in the "running" state. I can check that on the command line with "service network status."
How in the wide world of SAM can / should I monitor Services in a repeatable, "best practice" sort of way?
