[hobbit] Alerting on Server Reboot

[Milburn, John A.]

If the servers are part of an Active Directory domain, you can use a
policy to run a script at startup. I use one that writes an event log
entry in a management server and sends an email to the admins.

Pat,

One of the things I've done in the past is have a init.d script (For
linux
at least), that emails your account that the server just booted.
Something like this:

#!/bin/sh

echo "`hostname -f` just rebooted!" | mail -s "`hostname -f` just
rebooted!"
admin at domain.com

EOF

Maybe you could just append that to your hobbit client's init scripts?

In any case, I'd be interested to see what others have to say as well.
