erlang - the right tool for the the following problem?

[phillipd@REDACTED]

Hello,

I have 35 unix and 50 nt servers. I need to monitor all sorts of 
"stuff" such as disk usage, database health (ms sql server, oracle, DB2
and uniVerse). I have many small perl scripts that handle much of
the grunt work. However, I now need to somehow "weave" this all 
together in some sort of fabic that we can look at for the 
warm fuzzies that upper management wants to see. 


Once this is in place will erlang allow me to harvest unused
resourses (cpu,disk,memory) for other processes?

Thanks
Dale
