I see some folks downloaded that tag.  Sorry to say I realized I've been
sitting on an unposted revision for something like a year, which I've
just put up at the dev exchg.  Nothing critical, but it is a bit nicer
and a tad more efficient.  See the ''coming in the next revision'' page
at the docs site to see what got changed.

I used NetWhistle, until they cranked up their rates to the moon for the
5-minute intervals I wanted.

So I wrote my own in CF.  Currently I use it to check a page for some
query output (another poster described an easy way to do this) via a
straight http and then an https connection.  Then I have it check my
smtp connection, followed by a POP3 test and a test of my webmail
service.  All at 5 minute intervals.  The thing is pretty configurable
so you can do just about anything you want.  Sends an email to my cell
upon failure.  Keeps a log that saves only X days worth of data, lots of
other stuff.

Its free and in the dev exchange here:

All you need is a cheapie hosting acct to run it.  I used intermedia.net
for $30/month until I got DSL at home.  Now I run the test for free from
my home system (I have an extra cf server license, so I'm still legal
;D).

Can anyone tell me of a service out there like Netwhistle? I used to use
them from time to time to monitor my server at home but it seems they
are out of business.

Thanks!
