Just as a note Ross - I got it up & working now! So I thank you for it - but didn't get the downtime fixed... how about you?

Ross - you might want to look into the code(s) that you have posted in that entry, there are a few errors here & there ...

I was advised to email a feedback@ address. I'm waiting for my response but I didn't get around to sending the e-mail until gone midnight so don't expect a reply until tomorrow anyway.

The script posted there has two problems with it.
1. It was based on the old monitoring script. I've since made a number of adjustments to the live one; adding conditions for sending a notifications, limiting the number of SMS messages sent, having a variable number of minutes for a server to be offline before sending SMS. Plus other changes I don't remember now.

2. I broke the code into several sections to better explain how it is working. I expect some crumbs got left off.

You managed to get it working though? Were there any major errors which would of had people really stumped?

One thing that I didn't notice for a while was that you have 2 folders 1 named 'servers' and one 'status' [I think] ... you need to make sure to change these to 'servers' ... I think the latter was when you were retrieving the 'cached' settings.

And yea - I've modified the code a small bit - will be modifying it more to limit SMS like you said. But the front end of mine is what's very sexy!

Also the cron job is setup differently, due to cPanel being used...

Ahh. Took a while to see where you mean but yeah. I can see how that's confusing. I'll change both to "servers". Thanks

Welcome!
