Abstract
An apparatus, program product, and method is provided for monitoring a remote computer to determine the existence of a status signal indicating that the remote computer is operational. The monitoring computer interprets a sudden absence of the status signal within a predetermined time period as a non-operational status of the remote computer. In response to the non-operational status of the remote computer, the monitoring computer generates an alert sequence to alert personnel that the remote computer is non-operational. The alert sequence may alert various personnel, including the user of the remote computer or security personnel, depending upon the time of day that the alert sequence is generated. Inputs from the user determine the frequency of the monitoring process and also the method of contacting personnel upon an alert sequence. The user may selectively start and stop the monitoring process as desired for minimal disruption of computer operation and workflow.
