Easy Web server monitoring tool

[Simon Haddon]

I set up options using Webmin (ping, http) that monitor the servers
remotely.  I also have the servers monitoring each other and they will
email me if they notice something wrong.

> fee they will let you run a bot on their server too.

> There are also a few companys like www.alertsite.com that will remotly
> keep tabs on your server for you.
