What could be done is to have:
* (1) webpage that accepts a
POST
* (2) webpage that shows whatever is
posted.
As alert do an HTTP POST and the "ops"has the webpage (2)
as background on his desktop.

Good idea, but it's still less than ideal for two reasons:
1) Font is way too small (this is for a plasma display screen)
2) Doesn't time out - the ops would need to connect to it and OK the message every time.
I'm sure *somebody* must have written an app to do this - must be a simple bit of VB (but I've forgotten all my VB skills!)

How about a NET SEND to itself?

I do that as well, but what I'm after is something that people can instantly look up and see on the monitoring screens when they hear the alert.

why no send mail on an alert?

My checks generate a sound when a server is down, but it's often hard to see what exactly has happened (until the end of the cycle when the HTML pages are generated, which can be a few minutes later). I'd like to be able to generate a simple popup window with the info in it (which would automatically close again after a few seconds). Obviously I can run any exe as an alert, but I need that exe to start with. Anyone know of a handy utility to do that?
Thanks,
Ian
