[Tutor] System Monitoring

[de Haan]

Hi,

Im fairly new to programming in python, and have a question.

Im looking to build a program that monitor's certain things on my Linux
system. for instance disk space. What is the best way to monitor a Linux
server without using to much resources?

Should I execute shell commands and grab the output of them? Or should i use
SNMP. Or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance!
