something cool

Post by s.dot »

ima write a script to ping my 2 dedicated servers every X minutes to check if they're up. just for fun. but i can't think of anything cool to do if they're down. sure, i could pop open a browser window saying 'server x is down', but that just doesn't sound cool. :lol:

any ideas? (windows xp)
