E-accounting is the application of online and Internet technologies to the business accounting function. Similar to e-mail being an electronic version of traditional mail, e-accounting is "electronic enablement" of lawful accounting and traceable accounting processes which were traditionally manual and paper-based.

E-accounting involves performing regular accounting functions, accounting research and the accounting training and education through various computer based /internet based accounting tools such as digital tool kits, various internet resources, international web-based materials, institute and company databases which are internet based, web links, internet based accounting software and electronic financial spreadsheet tools to provide efficient decision making.

Online accounting through a web application is typically based on a simple monthly charge and zero-administration approach to help businesses concentrate on core activities and avoid the hidden costs associated with traditional accounting software such as installation, upgrades, exchanging data files, backup and disaster recovery.

E-accounting does not have a standard definition but merely refers to the changes in accounting due to computing and networking technologies.

From the "E-accounting" Wikipedia page

you can also find many companies offering such services using Google.

Here's an article on Linux accounting software from Linux Journal:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/...software-linux

I was treasurer for a non-profit for several years. I looked at several packages; turbocash was the most sophisticated of the ones I reviewed and would be good for a business, but I ended up creating my own spreadsheets in OO Calc; they were adequate for a small non-profit doing simple cash accounting.

I would be reluctant to trust my live books (as opposed to remote encrypted backups) to some website somewhere.

Spell your words out.

And that's different that your first question. There are many monitoring tools, such as Nagios, Zenoss, ntop, etc., that can perform a wide variety of monitoring tasks. Since you provide no details (version/distro of Linux, EXACTLY what you want to monitor, how often, etc...), there's not much we can tell you beyond some basic package names.
