RE: how to tell if website hosted on iseries is down

I would like to do something offsite if possible. I don't want to rely on
testing from the iseries since that might be the problem.

Which do you mean?
 
There are services on the internet (free and pay) that can monitor a url,
and email you when its availability drops and comes back up. (for instance
an isp/comm problem)
 
Or... do you mean monitoring the qhttpsvr subsystem to see if the
webinstance jobs are running?

Our iSeries is hosting a website (apache). 



I would like to know when the website is down. 



What would be the best way to handle this?
