nPULSE - Web-based network monitoring package for Linux and Unix

nPULS:

nPulse is a web-based network monitoring package for Linux and Unix-like
operating systems. It can quickly monitor tens, hundreds, even thousands
of sites/devices at a time on multiple ports. nPulse is written in
Perl and comes with its own (SSL optional) web server for extra security.

Also, instead of re-inventing existing code, nPulse uses many excellent
OpenSource (GPL) products including
 * Nmap                              www.insecure.org/nmap [required]
 * Perl                              www.cpan.org          [required]
 * OpenSSL                           www.openssl.com       [optional]
 * Net::SSLeay and Mail::Mailer      www.cpan.org          [optional]
 * Java Telnet App                   www.mud.de/se/jta     [included]
 * A modified version of miniserv.pl www.webmin.com        [included]

------------------
Required Software
------------------

Linux/Unix Version 2.1 or greater  (www.redhat.com)
Perl       Version 5.004 or later  (www.cpan.org)
Nmap       Version 2.51 or later   (www.insecure.org/nmap)

nPulse is entirely written in Perl 5. For port scanning it uses the excellent
package Nmap, available from www.insecure.org. nPulse will not work without Nmap.
