Monitoring remote server
Hi, we have recently gotten our web server set up running Debian slink (What a joy!). I was wondering what the easiest way would be to monitor the server and get an email and/or page if the server goes down. I have seen some tools that are available in potato (one of them being bigbrother), but I would not like to experiment on a web server serving 2.000.000 hits a week installing from unstable. The easiest would maybe be to run something on my workstation (Debian potato) that monitors the web server (the web server is only accessable for me over the Internet, no lan etc). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Monitoring remote server
Greetings Christian, I run several Debian boxes doing many things, as well as a few NT boxes. I have found that NOCOL (http://www.netplex-tech.com/software/nocol/) does the job VERY well. Hope this helps... Anthony At 09:25 PM 6/5/99 -0500, Christian Dysthe wrote: Hi, we have recently gotten our web server set up running Debian slink (What a joy!).

Hey Christian, Big Brother 1.08 isn't unstable at all. Go to http://maclawran.ca/bb-dnld and get the latest tar ball (1.09b or c). It has many nice features and runs very well. John C.
