A suggestion for Conitec.

At my work we have a server that delivers taking magazines to
customers each night. Sometimes the server hangs.

We have solved this problem by writing a small applicaiton on
another machine that checks if the servers is up and working.
If its not, email are sent to a couple of emplyoees responsible for the server.
They may then restart the server remotely. In fact they can restart the
server physically by activating an TCP/IP relay and then using Putty
set things up.

This solution has worked very well. In the best of worlds the servers
should not hang - but as we live in a real world they do, and when they
do its always at weekends when no one is there.

Perhaps something for Conitec to consider

Kindly
