Re: Monitoring NT servers, was paging

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting remark about monitoring NT servers.  We had an NT server that 
locked up a couple of times a day.  We ended up writing a CL program to ping 
the NT server every x number of minutes.  If two consecutive pings failed it 
paged us.  We didn't use our paging software for this.  Our paging vendor has 
an email service, if you want to use it.  For example if my paging number was 
2195551212 I could send email to 2195551212@epage.arch.com and I'll get the 
page.  And we can use the SNDDST command to send email to there.  See 
http://www.arch.com  

I'll be glad when IBM comes up with a DID board for the 400.  Then we can get 
rid of that NT server.  We use it for inbound Domino faxing.

Same Here.  
You can send email, page, send to a MSGQ, run programs, etc.  on an
event or lack of an event (i.e. server program is not running).
We use it to monitor our network routers/bridges with ping.  
It can also be setup to monitor NT servers (this feature is Extra)
