[Server uptime] Damn dog

[Breuner]

Let's have a little scenario. You go to bed and the last thing you check is the server. It's doing fine so you go to sleep. Around half and hour later your connection fails (I'n my case my dog must have had something to do with it) and your server gets 8+ hours downtime.

This has happened to me at least a few times. and i would like to know if there is a utility tool that monitors your connection (without using too much bandwidth) and sounds an alarm if your connection to the Internet is lost.

Regards

A man who does not dare to sleep.

I don't know if there a program like that coded in C++ or whatever, but it wouldn't be hard to make one in AutoIt if your familiar with that scripting language. I might can throw something together tomorrow when I get home from vacation if you don't have any success in this regard before then.

If you are familiar with AutoIt though, the Ping() and Beep() commands should work nicely together for your purposes, of even playing a .WAV or .MP3 if that annoying beeping doesn't tickle your fancy.
