There are programs that will notify you of an issue and page or call you, sort of like a line cut notice to an alarm company.
I will ask the guys who do the server work what they are using and let you know.
You could have a email given to a few of the regulars for such a situation. The Coal Forum Minutemen!
I am not an engineer, train or otherwise!
I stay at a Holiday Inn at least once a year!
Most of all I do have common sense and a practical application of logic.
Oh, add humor, on the dry side, along with a wee bit 'o sarcasm.

I actually have something I could modify to do it, I set up a special page on my server that records the IP for any request. I gave the URL to a friend of mine so he could set it up as his home page on his laptop. If the laptop gets stolen and someone opens the browser bingo! I got the IP. :lol: There's a few commercial application on the market that are much more advanced.

Problem is with any notification it's actually getting the message which is the issue because I don't have cell phone.
....I'm hitting yet another problem that's based on the hopeless state of our databases. There
is no uniform data integrity, it's just a catalogue of issues that continues to grow as they're found
