[K12OSN] Script for checking if servers are up

[Doug Simpson]

Yes, I do like the challenge.

The purpose of the audible message is that the server running the script will verbally tell me which server is offline by name, and repeatedly do so until it comes back on line. I do not have to sit and watch any monitoring screens, read any emails or anything like that. Basically, if the server running the script isn't talking, then all is well. . .

Thanks

Doug,

 Sounds like you are getting pretty geeky with your "server's up/down"
script.
Throwing festival into the picture:) Can you get festival to "emulate"
mm,,, Aretha Franklin, or Bon Jovi ? Anyways, just thought Id throw this
out. I setup OpenNMS a few weeks ago and it sure does a good job of
keeping track of outages on multiple subnets at our school. Wasn't too
difficult to get it rolling either. This may be too heavy for what you are
wanting to do with it,though. There are rpm s avaliable so its pretty easy
setup. You probably "like the challenge" of doing it yourself anyways:)

Take Care,
