Be careful if you monitor restarts; I had to take out nsrmmd from our 
monitoring because there were too many false positives (same for nsrexec on 
certain clients).  Only nsrd is being watched on the Server; Course the server 
itself, along with the Nodes and clients have the normal 
disk/swap/messages/uptime/etc scans.

We use a home-grown monitor for our Solaris and Linux hosts, so I can't make 
specific suggestions.
