How can i write a program which reports on status of SQL Server replication -

Some of our end users are not IT savvy and can not know how to check the health of SQL replication system. Is there a tool that is simpler than SQL Server Management Studio that they can keep an eye on it? I am asking it because end users are non-programmers.

If not, what are the methods for admin in the client place to keep a tab on the health of SQL replication tasks, or central offices are in remote client sites?

Thanks and relation, Chuck
