Monitoring/Managing processes,deamons,threads

Question

My problem domain is to monitor/manage, processes, threads, daemons, on a remote machine.

I have not choosen a language as yet to write the tool. I am open to suggestions.

Clarification: 1) By Monitoring I mean "knowing current running state, memory usage, process usage ". 2) Would prefer very little setup requirements imposed. Assumptions: 1) Want to have a linux tool. The tool may run on linux but should be able to monitor windows/linux os. 2) The OS has configured all the required permissions.

It is just a starting point. I am looking for suggestions from people before I set my mind to something.[keeping an open mind for any kind of advice].

The motivation is to get rid of the various process management issues I am facing with my project.

[If you are aware of any open source projects that already are doing this or are doing this please mention them.]

Thanks for your comments,

Answer 1

I am still working on it. Currently to monitoring Windows I find WMIC library very useful.

The language I am tending towards is python. wmic was a binary available with hardyharon earlier to communicate with the windows box and manage it. it is sort of depricated now. I shall see if I would find out something that already exists :)
