Checkservice is written, as the name of the program suggests, to check the status of the services that you run on your own or a remote server/computer. It can monitor for example the FTP Server and Web server you are running and alarm you in several ways if something is wrong with them. The variety of output types, check- & warningplugins make Checkservice suitable for many tasks. With simple configfiles you can scan important services on the local host, but also on remote hosts, and make sure you know if a vital service fails! Since the 0.9.9-release Checkservice supports grouping. This is a convenient way to organize the hosts to check in different categories.
