Regarding creating a broadcast message if my live stream is unavailable...
I have tried to put up a file with the exact name as my stream is all
variations to no avail.
My mount point for live streams is / --- the root---.
My live stream is "test"
I created a test.rm file and placed in in the content dir. I also tried
creating a directory under content and under the server root called test and
putting a test.rm file there. I even tried it without the rm. Any ideas?

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.
