    Well I know the solution when you'll be notificated when not all your server is down, but when mc server is down. For that you need to [FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif]install and configure the cli mail program and then add this "[/FONT] */5 * * * * nc -w 3 -z <mc ip address> <mc port> || { echo "You, the servers down. Fix it" | mutt -s "MC server's down" <email address> >&2; }[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif]" to your crontab file[/FONT]

    Try a outside monitoring service like pingdom.

    Hello there,

    Are you looking for notifications of a service down on the server, or, the entire server itself being down?

    I would also recommend pingdom or some other external service monitoring. Setting up the script or cron on your server may not be a good idea as if the server down before the email gets delivered, you will never receive it.
