You can send e-mails using UTL_TCP and UTL_SMTP, see MetaLink for example.
Alternatively you can run crontab for Windows or AT jobs regularly and use
something like blat to send alerts when certain conditions occur.
You have to maintain the scripts though. Scripting on NT / Win2K is (er...)
disingenuous.
For example you can use freeware utilities like grade to compare the length
of files.

Subject: RE: Any scripts to check the health of the database
This is something that I am looking for a way to check on an 8.1.7 database
running on NT without me physically having to login myself. Is there some
automated way to do this, that maybe can send an email to a computer
operator??
Thanks,
Dave

Personally, I think that many folks go a bit overboard when
it comes to checking the health of a database.
These are the things I like to check for:
* is the database up? this is the most important tech check
* status of jobs in DBA_JOBS
* space issues. Will a table be able to extend N times
without error?
* are the users happy? This is actually more important
than any of the technical issues.
There's a lot of other things you can check, but personnaly, I
quit checking them long ago.
I do log a few things from the database, and periodically store
the explain plans for SQLin the cache for troubleshooting later
the things go awry. This is really not part of a periodic
health check though, this is a whole different matter.
One thing to keep in mind: Rolling your own helps you to
understand what's being monitored. :)
