For OS monitoring, you might try some of these tools. They're all quite powerful, and configurable, and offer email notification, and many types of monitoring:

NetSaint

BigBrother

Mon

For Oracle specific monitoring (a slight plug here...) Karma (0.9.8 just released!!!)

And there are other web-based admin tools: OraSnap
