Hi Shamus, you could try to let the included Monit application do the job. http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_monit_monitoring SIP examples from the web: check host openser_all with address 127.0.0.1 if failed port 5060 type udp protocol sip with target "localhost:5060" and maxforward 6 then alert check host sip.broadvoice.com with address sip.broadvoice.com if failed port 5060 type tcp protocol SIP and target 1...@sip.broadvoice.com maxforward 10 then alert If it doesn't work, you would get a email. You need to play with the "check host" settings or search the web Michael http://www.mksolutions.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to pay...@krisk.org.
