There are two scripts which already do this, rc-alert and wnpp-alert,
written by Anthony DeRobertis and someone with a fetish for pythons (sorry,
no name in the script). These do quite a good job for me, and I'm actually
in the process of packaging them up with a cron script to e-mail their
results to the machine admin periodically.
You should be able to find the scripts in the archives (I can't remember now
where I found them, but I remember finding out about them on debian MLs) or
you can hang about until I package them (which could be sooner or a bit
later). I don't know whether the package will go into Debian proper yet, or
just hang around on my personal site.
