You use good HW and maintain it like any other production server.

Subject: Re: Unix script to check database status
Jared,
I agree doing it from a single server is more efficient and is my general
approach on management / admin. But there's always the issue of what
happens
when the "management / admin server" is down. (Having a 2nd one as backup
is
nice but often the money doesn't run that far).
Cheers,
Chris
