perl-watcher | Nagios-inspired system tray events desktop watcher /

perl-watcher is a Perl library. perl-watcher has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Nagios-inspired system tray events desktop watcher / notifier. The main difference, that it is desktop application. There is too many programs (system update, news, weather etc), which notify you about it via it's own style. Do you need to track and aggregate events from the different sources? PerlWatcher can do simplified infrastructure monitoring (pinging them), track stock quotes, weather, new software updates, poll the remote VCS for RSS updates, be notified by local news or by some changes on your /var/log/messages? Do you want to have possibility to easily write your own event-watcher in the case you local media-content provider does not have any API no notify you about new films and you fill yourself hackish enough to do some reverse engineering for writing your watcher?. If yes, than PerlWatcher is designed for that purpose. PerlWatcher supports also an different levels of notification: "notice", "info" .. "alert". They indicate how important the event is for you: if you are doing an boring task it's natural to switch attention to anything else for couple of seconds; but if the task is serious you can rise the notification level to 'alert' to be disturbed only by blackout on remote servers :).
