anyone have experience with website/downtime monitoring systems? something that lets you know when your site goes down, etc?

used to be a program by ipswitch called "whatsup" you can enter your site's ip and it will ping it on whatever interval you set. if it misses X amount of pings it will sound off whatever mp3/wav file you want.
whattaya know its still available.

Used to use that software when I was basically an internet security guard in like '97, used it on multiple sites at a time. You can make an image in photoshop with a map on it to lay your icons over.

if it's on a php based server, you could use phpSysInfo and use the yahoo/dashboard widget to monitor it's stats.
