I was claening out my drafts folder and came across this. Sorry if I
already posted it.

When using IP-Monitor/Check Reachability it would be very nice if the
group icons would change color when one of its members bscomes
unreachable. This way you could have a nice collapsed map monitoring
all of the networks, and still be able to tell when there was a
problem with one of the machines.

Also, I would like to see IP-Monitor's be able to be applied to groups
(in actuality, it would apply to all member of the group, but this
makes life easier when the groups are collpased to have a monitor
applied recursively to all hosts/groups in the group.

There should be some way to kill a monitor on a host. Right now you
can suspend them, but it would be nice to be able to really delete the
monitor.

Some of the text windows (e.g. IP-Trouble/Ping) come up scrolled all
the way to the bottom of the text area. This means that you have to
use the slider bar to look at the output from the ping or whatever
command you are using.
