at a former employer per damagement direction... we had a perl script named pageme which was called by our monitoring scripts whenever they detected and event that required the on-call DBA be paged. the author of pageme had the forethought to add a nopage feature. it looked for a file called nopage in a certain directory and did nothing if found. mysterious cron entries were sometimes known to touch the nopage file as it was approaching bed time and rm it in the morning. the frequency of these mysterious cron entries increased as damagement's desire to page on events of questionable importance increased ;-)

"Hello .. <name> this is your heartbeat calling, we have a problem !!" As none of us had our r�sum�'s ready, this idea was dropped unanimously.
