Need to monitor IPX/SPX (Novell) based systems
Has anyone been blessed with this tasks?
If so how did to accomplish it?
I have had no luck locating a client, and really do not want to attempt to write one.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

deadcat.net has a bb-ncp shell script that could be used

I'd suggest hopping over to www.deadcat.net (the Big Brother add-on repository) and do a search for "netware". There are some tools there, and I'd think you could put together the most basic monitoring from those.
I guess the disk/volume monitoring is the most critical one? bb-nwdisk.pl appears to take care of that, and since it is based on the Netware SNMP client it doesn't require you to load 3rd-party NLM's on your server.
There's also bb-ncp.sh, but it is written for Linux with IPX protocol support - I don't know it that will work on current Linux versions.

I use the bb-nwstats from deadcat (http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=313) and it works fine. For this you have to install the MRTGEXT.NLM (http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext) on your server.
