[FX.php List] Monitoring FM Server 9/10 Advance

[Bob Patin]

Fortunately, this isn't an issue here; our FileMaker servers are rock- 
solid, thankfully. Back in the CDML days I had a utility on the Mac  
(PageSentry) that would poll all the FM Unlimited machines every 4  
minutes, and if it didn't respond properly from a DB query, the  
machine would automatically be restarted.

I don't think PageSentry ever made it into OS X; it was perfect. You  
could set up a db query, a ping, a page request, whatever you wanted,  
and then tell it what to do in the case of failure. In conjunction  
with special power strips from Sophisticated Circuits, you could brute- 
force recycle power on a single A/C socket.
