I've done this one too (Score:1)
For a monitoring tool :) it monitors the uptime and when a daemon goes down, it manages to read out the server name and a "supposedly" informative line.
Using it for production servers is fine. Then some managerial person saw it, went "oh, cool, a talking computer monitor thingiee" and insisted everyone use it.
What's the chorus of "Server X going down" sound like (when the tool now monitors development servers ) ?. Noise pollution :) It later got downgraded to a beep, which was slightly better (but only slightly)
