Hey everyone, trac is not a good discussion forum, please use the =20
mailing lists!
Also please use trac for bug reports and tracking work done, not for =20
feature requests unless you include a patch (wishlist items go on the =20
wiki). I won't close this ticket because I like the idea so I might =20
implement it myself if noone else does. Patches gratefully accepted. ;)
As to the alternatives, this monitoring belongs on the client. The =20
server cannot know if the client is a laptop that has been switched =20
off, and nagios is far too heavy a requirement for this warning, which =20
should be standard (I run nagios myself so I know this).
It is already sysloged in this case as suggested but that's really not =20
enough, again I know this because it's happened to me and I've not =20
noticed.
Cheers,
Martin.
