Jim,
  Thanks for working on mon....it has saved my butt a few times, and
keeps me looking good at the office. :)

  Anyway, here is a new alert for the contrib bin: aim.alert

Based off mail.alert, this alert will send the same information to an
AIM user who is logged in.  To use, simple place in your alert.d dir,
making sure it is executable by your mon user.  Make user you have the
perl modules AOL::TOC installed (perl -MCPAN -e "install AOL::TOC"),
then just use like this in your monrc file:

watch servers-prod-solaris
    service ping
    description ping servers in ADC.
    interval 1m
    monitor fping.monitor
    # Generic Alert Block
    period p1: wd {Sun-Sat}
        alert mail.alert hostmaster@mydom.com
        alert aim.alert
        upalert aim.alert
        upalert mail.alert hostmaster@mydom.com
        alert netpage.alert page@mydom.com
        upalert netpage.alert page@mydom.com
        alertevery 60m
