Using a remote service like HopToad or GetExceptional is better.

[Rails] Re: Checking for Functional Site
Hi Michael, Freezing your Rails gems is probably the best way to maintain control over the version of the framework being used and is highly recommended in a shared environment. You might also consider using some free externally hosted service (i.e. Pingdom, mon.itor.us, etc.) for checking the status of the website from the end-user perspective in order to keep tabs on your site from the end-user perspective. Ultimately though, I don't know if I'd be so forgiving about a hosting company that doesn't want to communicate with their customers. :( On Jan 4, 9:54 pm, Andrew Bloom akbl...@gmail.com wrote: If you can run a cron script, don't worry about actually doing something in Ruby or Rails itself.

Is there some way to do an autocheck of the system to see if anything in the rails installation / configuration has changed? If there is, I could set this up as a cron job and do a manual check when I determined that something had changed. This would also minimize the distortion of the logs from the hits from my check.
