What does everyone use to check the status of a remote server? I am needing a script (or what have you) that will validate that my Tomcat server is up and running on timed intervals. If the server is down, I need to post to a web page that sends either (or both) an email & a msg to my cell phone (think I have this part figured out).
Anyone care to share some code? Or offer some ideas? It would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Chris
