Hi all -
I've just decided that I want to automate a lot of my daily chores
(monitoring log files/disk space, etc...) and would like some tools to
handle it for me. I had a couple of adhoc scripts that did some of it,
but there must be some better tools out there (that I wouldn't have to
write :). I took a quick glance at COPS and Watcher and they look like
they would do the trick. I've also heard of, but never played with
TripWire.
Any and all comments, on the above programs or other programs that
do similar things would be greatly appreciated. I'm primarily interested
in monitoring disk space, logins, various log files, etc... What would be
really cool is a program that "learned" users login behaviours and would
notify me when the deviate from it (ie. joeuser tends to login b/n 8-5
from these machines, but today he logged in at 3am from this host in
germany, type of thing)

If there's interest I'll summarize any comments I receive.

Thanks!
