netiq jobs written in perl
we have written tons of jobs to monitor things that netiq didn't support out
of the box.
eg.
solaris logical volumes
VxVM volumes
MQ Series queues and channels
if you have someway to identify the problem from w/in the operating system,
then it becomes as easy as writing the netiq job to do what you want to do.
