Hi,

Im fairly new to programming in python, and have a question.

Im looking to build a program that monitor's certain things on my Linux
system. for instance disk space. What is the best way to monitor a Linux
server without using to much resources?

Why reinvent the wheel? What's wrong with using an existing system such as Nagios or Cactii?


Should I execute shell commands and grab the output of them? Or should i use
SNMP. Or is there a better way?

Depends on what and how often you're checking.
