I'm about to set up a system to monitor an internet connection, and I
want it to send an SMS message to me if it's access to the internet goes
down.
The paging will be handled through vodafones modem to SMS service; it
should be easy to write a script that will do the actual paging.
My question is what should I use for the actual monitoring? A simple
script that pings at regular intervals and pages if it fails too many
times would work, but I'm sure there are programs out there that are a
bit more comprehensive/reliable.
