Re^2: Server Uptime Monitoring

I'll third the Nagios suggestion.

We do SMS alerting from our Nagios server using a rather Heath Robinson setup, that works fine >:o]

There is a Nokia 7110 mobile phone plugged into the back of the server using a serial cable and then use GNokii to send the SMS messages from Nagios.

Hope that information is useful to you.

Too bad you aren't using any of the CPAN solutions for sending SMSes, like Device::Gsm. But beware, I am the author of that mess... ;-)	[reply]

Hooray! Thanks for bringing Device::Gsm to my attention. Installed it and was sending SMS messages ( when I eventually remembered to use the right recipient number that is :) ) You will have had an SMS from me as well All I have to do now is amend my POE daemon, I may even make a POE::Component out of it Thanks again!
