<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Roland,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We used Big Brother for many years with a set
of "traffic lights" showing all services on multiple servers down do disc space
usage, DNS, Mail, DHCP etc with the option to SMS one or more numbers when a
trigger point was breached.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just imagine techs and ICT coordinators .
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This can prevent the regular "is the internet down
?", is "email down?" , "is the system down?" as techs/ICT coordinators
carrying books, going to class , sitting at lunch, going to the toilet are
confronted with several times per day/week !!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enjoy ....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Here is an interesting and free web service that is probably
worth investigating for tracking and logging alerts when school web servers go
down. Do any others use this or use something similar?<BR><BR>
