Description Thierry Vignaud 2012-08-29 10:41:34 CEST

As shown in bug #7228, we should monitor more things such as servers' date.

Also, as yesterday mail failure show, we should monitor more services and send mail alerts to sysadmin ml on error.

We already do xymon monitoring wich alerts us on a separate list to not flood sysadm list, and sympa also notified us that it died when it lost db access.

But as there was server maintenance in progress in the DC, there was no point in restarting services just to have them fail again.
