Is there any open source or free remote server monitoring script which checks for availability for remote servers and sends email notifications if a server is not responding?

Hyperspin does this.

but im guessing your looking for your own script you can run?

Nagios ? Mon ? Ping ?

Nagios : nagios.org

Nagios (http://www.nagios.org)
Zabbix (http://www.zabbix.com)


To name a couple.

Nagios is awesome, but your host has to be online, you could also try uppanel, which will monitor 5 hosts for free remotely, and is always online

Or, if you want, i have a status2k license, and it doesnt limit where it is used, you could have one of them if you like =D

I am looking for something simple actually. Some very small php script which just needs a cron job.

Like ActiveTrio helpdesk have a status checker which checks ports every min (using cron) and emails us if its down.

I think it should be something simple.

And if you did you would be going against our Terms, so your account would be terminated.

You must place it on a remote host.

And most shared host regard every minute cron as abuse.

unialert.com is free, sites monitored every 5 mins. Good reports with nice lil' graphs too ^^

I don't want my customer in Nagios but I wanted to provide them with "something".

For a really simple solution I use StatusMon
