I'd ask before I try (or perhaps before I procrastinate again):
I have a machine here at home running some 24x5 programs which I really
need to keep up and running, along with my broadband so it can get its
datafeeds.
I figured I could run a program on my webserver to ping my home machine
regularly and in case it starts to slow down, lose packets or die
completely, it could send me an SMS to alert me to the fact.
Is there something like this already in existence?
smsclient, ping and bash should do the trick...
