Re: [cobalt-users] Script for pinging multiple sites

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And I suppose you didn't find us necessary that:

a) there's only limited functionality for free, and the rest costs money.
b) the amount of money it costs seems to not be available.
c) you just put in "service does not need a cgi script..." to spread FUD 
through us about other services; in fact there's no reason at all why any 
such script would be necessary, nor if present, would present any kind of 
security issue.
d) you own the site.

Please, full disclosure.  How much does it cost to go to five minutes?  I 
already have a five-minute warning in place; my home network proxy-server 
checks my RaQ every five minutes; if it doesn't get a reply, it sends email 
to my local email client, which plays a warning through my speakers and 
will page me as soon as I have a pager setup.
