I have a mod to ip_monitor.tcl which I've posted in the past that sends
email when a host goes down. I integrate it with the patch that makes
a host 'blue' when it comes back up (so that if you've been away you know
a host was down). It's pretty easy to stick in there. Most people have
an email to paging gateway, so voila.
To effect the mod, check your ip_monitor.tcl and look frofor
proc ReachabilityProc {ids} {
page down a bit until you find
if {$rtt < 0} {
Right after the 'ined -noupdate color $id red'
I put a line that looks like this:
exec echo "[ined name $id] is down - [exec date]" | /usr/ucb/mail -s "host [ined name $id] is down" admin,doug
