RE: Web site monitoring

[Tim McCarthy <timm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a command that retrieves a page from a web server into a file.
It gives an exception message if the page is not available. You could
schedule it to run in a job and issue exceptions to your paging software
if it fails.

Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
