[rt-users] monitoring RT

[Khai Lam]

If that's all that's required, then the check_http plug-in provided  
by Nagios will do the trick.  There's an option to check the html for  
the presence of a text specific string (maybe "Search/Results.rdf"  -  
you'll only get this string after successfully logging in).  Saves  
you the trouble of writing your own monitoring script, but only if  
you are already using Nagios.
