[FX.php List] Monitoring FMP Server Status

[Bob Patin]

We use PageSentry as well to monitor our machines; you can set up  
different types of tasks for each machine, which is useful; in  
addition, if used in combination with "smart" powerstrips, you can  
have PageSentry restart a failed server, or restart remotely using a  
phone line, from anywhere in the world.
