How about having it send you a file with the current date-time as part of the filename on a regular basis.
Like "F07-02-28*0751" Then have a phantom process in U2 SSELECT the directory where the file lands every whatever minutes and check the date-time of the latest file, delete the older ones and notify you by whatever means at your disposal (email is nice) of any time there is A) no file found or B) the last date-time is out of an acceptable range.
