That's correct but this would be a lot like submitting SNMP traps to nagios. You might glance over that documentation to get ideas. You could create a generic service, set it as passive and volatile and then just start submitting passive results to it with descriptive/ useful output. Each non-ok result would generate an alert so you wouldn't miss anything but if you don't build in some protections, you could repeat notify about the same problem. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
