We want to monitor a Linux server for hard drive failure, free space running out etc. and have it send email warnings to our I.T. group. What would be the best program or method to use for this? Thank you.....

You might check out Big Brother. I know it used to be free and I think you can still get that version. Swatch allows you to watch the log messages and notify you, which is where the hard drive errors are.
