Hello Friends,

I required FREE Server Monitoring Script/Tool, to check whether server is 99.99% up time as GUARANTEED by Hosting Providers or not. Script allow to add multiple domains and shoot mail to my address when Particular Server or Site is Down.

Thanks

Cook up a script to connect to port 80 of ur webserver and check whether its connection or not. If not shoot a mail. If u want i can write a perl script to do that, but u would need linux, and u will have to host that script on a machine thats running 24 x 7 so that it can keep checking 24 x 7…

Oh So kind of you Josh!

I need to know whether the Server is 24x7 or not. So though I put the Same Script on any other Linux server How can I guaranteed that the server is 24x7 or not.

I am confused

^^ No issues re.. Its always good to know new things…

Well @Stick u can try out what ferrar suggested. I will also try that out.

Ya main problem is that u will need to moniter the website i.e. constantly keep checking the site in case of monit. I dont think this is the solution to ur problem.

Meanwhile u need to have one machine to keep checking whether the other one is live or not. Otherwise the server wont give out a message na that its crashing. If u want to script i can write it out. Its pretty small and easy. U can check any TCP port on Any Server. Like say if u want to check whether DNS is down or not , or FTP is down or not, or for that matter whether TE is down or not ;-)…

It’s not difficult but yes configuring it will be a little headache if u r not used to command line :slight_smile:

There is a documentation here:

Install: _http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/install.php

configure: _http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/examples.php

if u use rpm based distro then download monit here:

DAG: monit RPM packages for Red Hat/Fedora
