I'd think there would be some interest in using the free Oracle-supplied utility called Oracle Enterprise Manager for this.

Especially the one with version Oracle9i Release 2 that can not only monitor version 8.1.7 and up (actually probably down to 7.x, but who's counting), but also detect some problems, automatically invoke limited fixes and send emails & pages. And can also monitor non-Oracle environments.
