with the timeframe :)

+1   We maybe should implement similar mechanism as SNMP traps - it 
means active notifycation in the case of failure. I'm not sure if we 
should realy support SNMP traps as planned early - what do you think?

I personaly preffer web technologies for similar purposes such as PHP 
for their portability and simple remote access - on the other side, X 
application can be preffered on lot of the sites too. I planne to look 
on X applications in the near future too (i preffer QT but it doesn't 
matter) so it can maybe be good exercise (or we can maybe use Zervlet as 
web alternative :)
