Scenario: Running NT 4.0 SP6a domain, with Win2k SP2 servers (soon to be SP4) and an Ex5.5 SP4 e-mail system.
Objective: If particular services on a server are still having problems after restarting more than twice, I want the server to page me via text e-mail message at my cell phone. I don't know a lot about coding, but would be willing to learn. What would be the easiest way to do this? I was thinking of several options: 1. ActiveState PERL, using the Net::SMTP module to send an e-mail. 2. Some kind of VB script. 3. Blat, Postie or something along those lines. 4. Some program (preferably Freeware) that I can customize to do this for me. a. IPSentry LITE Network Monitoring Software may do the trick...but it's only for a max of 2 devices...costs $99 for the full version (I bet I can swing that) ;0) b. Server Service Monitor 1.15: http://tucows.tsol.co.za/adnload/274374_105207.html ($15 shareware product) Anyone have anything better?
