Network/Server monitoring.

[Tom Fogal]

About a year ago I took a quick look at 'nefu', which was pretty good for
basic service recognition. it relied almost completely on the network
administrators ability to create programs/scripts to determine whether or
not a server was running, so it could thus be as robust or generic as you
wanted to put the time into.
