Alert Manager

Alert Manager allows you to monitor the output (exit status or text) of any system command and take action when a command fails or succeeds. It was created to handle all alert commands (emailing, paging, etc.) for a production environment in which it is not permissible to lose a single message. It has a very flexible configuration file that allows the creation of "alert chains", chains of alerts, each with its own alert command, fallback command, success command, and other options. It has a method for passing messages (alert text) from the commandline to the various alert commands defined in the configuration file.
