I could think of a number of ways to do this:
1) setup cronjobs on the machines you want to monitor to fetch the
appropriate info into a text file, and rsync it to the main server.
(quick++ and dirty+)
2) run Apache on these same machines and have a CGI that is capable of
delivering that info. (quick-, dirty-)
3) have the main machine run remote X apps on the other machines running
X server. (quick--, elegant+)
Cheers,
Chris
