[K12OSN] Script for checking if servers are up

[Doug Simpson]

That's funny. . . I actually thought about that. . .the server running the script will be in my office. A quick glance will tell me if it is online. . . quarter, half, three quarter and hourly time greetings can be used (like a speaking grandfather clock) if you want to get that critical. Likely by the time the server finds a down server, the phone will likely be ringing anyway, but it'll be fun anyway.

You better setup a machine monitoring your talking machine, because  
if your talking server is down it won't do much talking either. Hmm,  
how do you monitor whether the speakers are turned on? :o)
