Nice script, but IIS administrators don't read log files. Log files are for people who use hard to use silly systems like UNIX. Everything you need to know on an NT machine comes in the form of a graph or a pop-up window.

Come to think of it I'm not even sure IIS administrators can read.

Sorry. Just had yet another conversation with (yet another) NT admin who tried to explain to me that the best way to pick a servers operating system was to pick the one with the easiest user interface. I smiled and contained myself till I got around the corner.

A small modification to your script might be to add a system("ping -f $ipaddress"); somewhere in there :)
