Instead of sending so much money to APC, we're installing a phone-line
interface and a couple of X-10 controllers (search for "home automation" or
try radioshack.com) to do the power-cycle thing. At 3:00am, I can deal with
the telephone, but don't want to have to boot up a computer for a telnet...
Past that, I second your system--after we're into the next fiscal year, our
order for What'sUp Gold will go out.

We have a 'sleep well' solution.
- What's up GOLD monitors the services (including PCAnywhere) and restarts
BEFORE anyone's pager goes off
- Then when the pagers DO go off, we have other NT machines in the same
network, and as you know, the 'server manager' allows you to start and stop
other server's services
- Then, if all else fails, we have a neat little device from APC which we
can telnet to, it controls the power, and you just power down the server and
bring it back up on it's power cord.
I realise this is 'a little much' for the small guys, but for us it's a real
'sleep saver'
