Level.io does this plus a whole lot more. As some have mentioned already, ideally there are lists of things to monitor. These can all be added to a policy along with up/down status and applied to devices. Source: 12 months ago

Level.io works from a browser, so no client needed on the controlling computer. Source: 12 months ago

With Level.io you can create a script library and then run them on one (or many) target devices. They could be run on the local client that is being used as well, which is what I believe you're asking for. This all works via an agent that checks in to the service and is responsible for the queueing and running off the scripts. Source: about 1 year ago

I don't know if you are DE shopping, but I've been very happy for the past few years with the MATE Desktop Environment, which "...is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems." https://mate-desktop.org/ Among a great number of things I really like, I will mention that Caja, the MATE version of... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

> Is there a WM out there that can do the basic quality-of-life functions of today's DEs? I'd love a simple, opinionated WM that takes the features we know are useful today (workspaces, expo mode, sensible file manager layouts, system trays) and gives them a color-adjustable window theme inspired by 90's aesthetics, with minimal compositing that can run fast on hardware as minimal as a prototype RISC-V board.

I have been using MATE for a couple of years now on an Intel Mac mini and it works... mostly. Things I am not a fan of: 1) Snap packages. For anyone that chimes in about how wonderful they are I have yet to see any evidence of that and, please, do show me how you launch OpenShot Video Editor because, well, it doesn't. 2) X-Windows. I'm sorry, but this should be brain-dead simple as running xhost+ on the device you... Source: about 1 year ago
