Maatkit is a package which contains high-quality command-line tools for MySQL. The tools enable power users of MySQL to do their work more safely and quickly by relying on tested software instead of scripting things themselves. The toolkit includes functionality such as table checksums, a query profiler, and a visual EXPLAIN tool, a multiprocess version of mysqldump.

This link is now broken.
about:
whatmon periodically reads a short bit of XML text from a web server (in my case: Apache). The XML contains an integer status and a single line of text. In practice, that line of text can contain whatever the administrator desires. I want an indication of the health of the mail queues on a number of mail servers we have inhouse. The line of text therefore contains two-letter codes with which I can identify the hostname of the mail server in question as well as a count of mails on the queue for each of the servers in question.
