+bdsm is the Bash Daemon for System Monitoring, a truly agentless system 
+monitoring and administration tool for Linux and Unix systems. Rather than
+installing specific client software on each individual host, or resorting
+to only monitoring basic service information through web requests, bdsm
+uses a persistant SSH tunnel and the existing unix monitoring services
+such as vmstat, iostat, sensors, and others to provide detailed monitoring
+of virtually any unix systems. It is easily extended to different system
+architectures and different tools and shell environments through a
+series of plugin module scripts.
+
+Doing this kind of monitoring through a shell environment does create 
+significant overhead, and bdsm is not recommended any production uses. 
+It may be useful for certain niche hardware and software applications, 
+and as an experiment in shell scripting.
