RE: [hobbit] Windows Cluster Monitor

["Jeffcoat, Al" <ajeffco (at) orhs.org>]

That'd be great.  We are demoing this for the new director on Monday, so
that would really be nice.  Thanks very much.

If not, we'll coble something together base on the responses we've
gotten so far.  

The UNIX stuff is easy, it's been in place forever.  The windows stuff
is new to me (I'm a home dabbler in windows) as far as a prd
environment.  And, our windows admins have resisted this every time we
bring it up, so I'm also fighting that resistance :).

In any case, thanks for the reply...

I'll post something this weekend as I have been working on this for a
SQL cluster we have running.
