He should also be made clear, he can't expect @nnibale will have mastered the DBA task in a few months, and depending on the current state of the databases, he is living on the brink of disaster. I would also advise his boss to get OEM + the additional packs (it will cost him probably a few $$), to implement a better alert system, than is available by running freeware and shareware scripts.
