Subject: Re: detecting server malfunction
Under Win NT, I used the Peformance Monitor sometimes whenI wanted to
monitor an encoder or server. I set an alarm that would go off when the
server output bandwidth dropped below a certain level, then I'd check it
if it did. You can also put a file in the Content dir of your
Realsserver that has the exact same name of the incoming encoder
filename, and telling users to call you. Use PowerPoint to make a slate
that announces that the encoder has died, and to call you at ... Use
the RealPresenter plugin to make a .rm file. Set the timing to one
slide per second and have at least six identical announcement slides -
this allows later slides to clear up the (often smeared) first slide.
