I am looking for an open source notification/monitoring software which will work much like growl does with a mac. It would be awesome if I could receive certain messages to my mac computer from my server when lets say it restarts or some predefined error happens etc. Anyone know of anything like that? I know of Nagios but I am thinking not as complex.

Pick any monitoring system you want and, as part of the alert process, have it run a Perl script to send Growl updates to your machines through available libraries (e.g. Net::Growl). Another option is, if you have an internal Jabber/XMPP server, have the alerts be sent to your chat client, and that that pop things up in Growl (Net::XMPP). Or even Twitter: http://www.google.com/search?q=cpan+twitter As it stands, monitoring is an entirely different topic and you need to provide more detail if you want anyone to recommend particular software. Some open source options are
I'm sure there are others that people can recommend. Search this web site for more information. | |||

Out of the 5 that Foo suggested, if you're after something quick and simple to setup, without a doubt go for monit. I'm not familiar with mon, but nagios, opennms and zabbix won't fit into your requirement of less complex than nagios. | |||
