I have a couple of servers running here at work, and i was wondering if anyone knew any programs that will text message me when something goes wrong, or even a status report every now and then would be ok.
 
First you need to tell us what constitutes "wrong."

You mean when they go down, when a service dies, when disk space gets low, etc.?
 
well, anyone of those would be something that is "wrong" so anyone one of those is fine. Or all of them is even better. Ive been looking for programs that do just this such thing, but to no avial.... i was hoping someong here knew one.
 
Well, it depends on what servers you are using...and what messaging service you are using. I use SprintPCS and can get text messages in the phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com format through any email program. Most monitoring tools can send an email when X condition is met, so...check with your messaging service to see if they allow this kind of messaging and set the alert condition on the server to send to your phone or pager.
The "status report every now and then" would be a little harder to pull off, since setting specific conditions would not come into play.
 
I also use sprint and i also have an e-mail like, but i never once thought of doing it like that. There are two servers, one is an SQL database, and the other is Active Dirctory. I have no idea of the names of any monitoring tools, so please throw some out.
