SMS ALERT FOR SERVER SHUTDOWN

Dear Sir,

We are having E-Mail server which is very much business critical . E-Mail Server has Window-2000 OS . During the night hours there is no person to look after the smooth operation of Server . Some time due to UPS power failure or any other reason our Server get re-booted and in such situation E-Mail operation are hold unless the smooth working of Server is restored by the person .

Sir , I desire that whenever Server (E-Mail operation) become non operational then immediately I should get an SMS alert automatically . Kindly guide me how to go for such a solution please .

I don't know, maybe it is better to keep it that way, as simple as possible, because you
will have expences with the sms gateway, and it can happen that email server is working
great after some time..

Anyway which email server are you using? maybe something can be done to improve its
stability?

"My Server Observer has the following features:

Custom Executable Alerts.  Create custom alerts using an external executable, for example SMS, YAC etc."

this one sounds good, but it still needs an additional executable that will send an sms.. :-S
Personally, I think it's not that hard to write that client application yourself, after all it's just a ping, or a simple tcp connect, and nothing more..
