It's actually really easy to do. Set up a web page that returns "ALIVE"
all the time except at whatever time you want to check, and at that time
it should return "EMAIL" (or whatever else you want to say, as long as
it's not "ALIVE").
In pseudocode, it would look like this:
If timenow >= 7:55 AM and timenow <= 8:05 AM then
Write "SEND A MAIL NOW"
Else
Write "ALIVE"
Then, set up a URL check in SAlive to hit that web page looking for the
word "ALIVE". All day long, it will think everything is running fine,
but from 7:55 to 8:05, it'll show as "down" and send an email.
If you're running IIS, I can write the code for you if you want. Pretty
easy.

Don't think this is possible to do.

My manager would like an email alert daily, preferably at 8:00 AM, that
says
"this server is up" after a URL check.
I can do the URL check with a text string just fine, but I don't see how
to
trigger an "Everything's OK" message.
Any thoughts?
