I've used Big Brother, which is all sh scripts, so it is easy to modify to do whatever you want. Assuming unix, of course. They have binaries for NT and Novell clients. One minor feature I really liked is the background color of the screen it is running on changes color with status, noticeable across a room before your pager goes off. You can check status from any browser.
