James,

In theory you could write a sender, and a receiver, for the IBM smtp
stuff. Send one every x minutes, if the receiver doesn't find it then use
a sockets program to active that fence charger wired to your chair.

Or, we paid a little for a slightly more full featured account than the
free ones at yahoo. Our IBM i sends off an email to yahoo, it forwards it
on to our email receiver (Domino). If the Domino doesn't receive one
within x minutes all hell breaks loose. My first suggestion doesn't test
if, for some reason, your sender gets blacklisted, comm drops, etc. The
second method is a much more robust end-to-end.

Well, I'm more concerned with how to "activ[ate] that fence charger wired to [my] chair [and the boss's]," or to make "all Hell break loose."

For verification of function, the boss and I are both thinking of sending a test email as part of the IPL process, after giving TCP, SMTP, and MSF time to come up, and sending one at a fixed time every day, but I'm thinking that an alarm is more likely to be noticed than the lack of a verification.
