Remote port availability monitoring with notifications

I want to be able to watch a few remote systems for application availability and send a notification via SMTP if they bocome unavailable. I only need to see if the HTTPS port is listening say every minute and then send the notification.

I am sure I could do this with a script but would rather just use something already proven, open source and, even better, an RPM for FC4 or something that is straightforward to compile.

Anybody have any ideas?

Hi thanks for these - the script option is beind me to customise and I would have trouble growing it out as I need to monitor more device.

Nagios is very configurable etc but definately too much for us at this stage - it would take me more time to configure it than I would save!

The only sorta easy things for dumb admins that I have found runs on Windows...
