This has probably been asked before, but I couldn't nail down any results via search.
I'm getting back into PHP design after a year hiatus and I was thinking about designing a very simple network monitoring script to alert me via email whenever one of the servers stops responding.
I am pretty confident I can do that much, but I'd also like for it to alert me via Instant Messenger as well. This part I do NOT know how to do.
Does anyone have some generic code I might be able to borrow to get me going in the right direction?
Any help is appreciated.
