Create task to notify until device comes back online?

[Jason_188]

I have been struggling to build a task that will page me every 5 minutes (for the first 30 minutes) and then email me every 10 minutes a device is not available.

If thats not possible without some serious coding, what about paging every 5 minutes until its back online?

What I currently have is a critical notification that pages me when a device doesn't respond.

I appreciate anyones help.

Thanks
Jay

How about a Custom command.
The coding wouldn't be too serious.

Trigger a custom command when the device is not available.
The Custom command pings the device. If not okay it waits and loops and tries again.

If you wish to develop additional functionality then learning one of the scripting languages is the way to go.
I use perl, but there are a number of other options.
