When a monitoring system detects something wrong, the only actions I
want the monitor to perform is to get the admin (or the admin's boss)
moving to diagnose and fix the problem. And I am the admin that I am most concerned with. I don't understand
most of the errors well enough to automate a recovery process.

DOn't forget...this is the model that Tivoli and HP Openview, and many
other commercial monitoring solutions provide and sell as a feature.
From my experience as a sys admin, I've alwys found that automatically
restarting a service if it goes down to be "a bad thing"(TM).
In many solutions, logs get overwritten upon a restart that would be
integral to the real resolution and prevention.
