Even though I don't have the technical expertise to code this, I'd like to just add my name to the list of people who would appreciate the work. Comrade Ringo Kamens

Hi folks, I just added a new item to http://tor.eff.org/volunteer#Coding: Sometimes Tor servers crash, or the computers they're on fall off the network, or other accidents happen. Some Tor operators have expressed an interest in signing up to a "notifying" service that periodically checks whether their Tor server is healthy and sends them a reminder mail when it's not. Anybody want to write a few cgi scripts, a few web pages, and set up some sort of wget hack and/or something more complex like <a href="http://nagios.org/";>Nagios</a> to do the monitoring? The first version could check just the directory port, e.g. looking through the cached network-status page for the right IP address and port and then asking for the "/tor/server/authority" page. Perhaps somebody here (or a group of somebodies) wants to tackle this? Thanks! --Roger
