I think someone else mentioned notification of e-mail. Well, I get too much e-mail for that (I am on the kernel list, after all) but that suggestion make me think of a soft of "Check Engine" light.
In my Red Hat box there are various sanity checks that happen regularly and they send me an e-mail when one of those items goes wrong. For example, if a raid disk dies or a partition gets too full (what are others?), I get an e-mail. It might be nice to have those programs also light an LED.
