Servers Alive is a network monitor program. It can monitor any WinSock service (FTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, DNS,...) or ping a host/machine. When any of these is down, it can warn you with a SOUND (WAV file), a visual indication (change of the title bar, and a RED DOWN indication) or send you an email (SMTP or any other mail type using a commandline sendmail utility) saying who is down. I can also send you an allert via pager. Also the program can be interogated using a TELNET client or/and a webbrowser (like Netscape's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer). Therefore you can use the build-in HTTP server or just publish it to your favourite HTTP server (save HTML file). The HTML file is color coded, this means that the DOWN hosts are seen in red. The application can 'sit' in the system-tray too (if a host is down the system-tray icon changes to a STOP). The program can monitor upto 300 hosts. The program runs on Win95 and NT 4. Needed are the VB 5 SP2 runtime files (can also be downloaded from the download page)
