I have a new project I'm working on for an application that allows me to do quick checks on server availability from my AT&T Tilt. This is the first version of the software and I'm looking for suggestions on improvements, bugs, etc. The software has been tested on Windows Mobile 5, 6, and 6.1. More information available at http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/am2008f.htm
The application is available in a PC Installer version as well as a CAB file and is posted at:
http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/AlertMe2008FWE.zip (PC Installer)
and
http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/AlertMe2008FWE.CAB (The CAB installer also requires the OpenNETCF to be installed as well (http://www.opennetcf.com)
Point release update includes:
o Log Viewer Tab (see new screen capture)
o Option to email log (note - this requires Pocket Outlook to be configured with an account)
Please post any suggestions you may have.
Looks good I'll have a look at it and test it our servers.
Thanks

Yea looks really promising I'll give it a shot too. Something to do in my meetings.
its nice to see apps that cater to webmasters.. something ppc's lack. im *trying* to cook some sftp+ssh app myself.
i think a cool feature in your app would be to schedule automatic checks on the site ever X minute with status/log info. perhaps even an audio/visual alert option that notifies you when it's offline.
i see this checks for http, but does it check for the right http 200 code? reason i ask, is sometimes a website http can be "online" but throwing out http error, which should report back as "offline/problem"

Initially this was meant to be a scheduled application. This release was to test viability. As soon as I can dig up the details on how to schedule the application, I'll release the point release with this feature.
I'll look at adding the parsing of the response to check for the 200 code. There is a log file that gets generated, and I will be adding a menu function to both view and email the log.

The download link is asking for username and password...

Sorry about that

Gotta love Windows Permission settings - ugh. The downloads shoudl be working now.
Point release Available
The new version allows for viewing of the log file more than anything else. Also, both the CAB and PC installers include the required OpenNETCF CAB, so things are cleaner on the install.
The emailing of the log file requires a Pocket Outlook account to be setup. I have only tested this with an Exchange server setup, so anyone running IMAP/POP/etc, let me know if it works. It should default to the first email setting in POutlook.
Next version should hopefully have the scheduling ability.
You said you're working on implementing a periodical checker.
Good. Better yet is SMS on error, or E-Mail on error (or both.) and option to play audible alert.
That way you could SMS yourself to grab your attention, or just use the built-in feature to play a sound. You could also have it E-Mail someone in your organization or perhaps your data center (with a predefinable template no doubt!) that the server is off line.
I work at a datacenter as a sysadmin, and I do think these features could go to good use.

Yep. As soon as I get the scheduling piece down, then the fun begins. At that point, failures will be alerted via a choice of alarms (siren type MP3s requested <G>), vibration & SMS/MMS/Email.
I also want to do as the poster above suggested and actually parse the results for other, discrete errors (ie: Web server is online, but a 404 is received).
Also, if possible, color coding the log as well.
SQL Server CE or XML?
Got the scheduling portion down and now have a question for folks who would use the app.
Which would you prefer, the use of SQL Server CF or just a local XML file to store the list of servers and ports to scan?
I can see benefits of both, but would like your feedback.
I'm downloading it right now and will give it a try. As a Linux system administrator, I would urge you to avoid using a vendor specific file format for anything. Go with xml. Any administrator who can't deal with that should seek a new line of work, anyway.
"This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."

Ah-hem, What ROM are you using, You might try to update to the newest NetCF
Apparently, The CAB installer also requires the OpenNETCF to be installed as well (http://www.opennetcf.com)
I tracked down the package I needed from Microsoft and now AlertMe is working. It seems a small but useful tool, though definitely not a replacement for Nagios.
The immediate thing I noticed is it doesn't remember the checkboxes selected when you pick the domain/ip from the history. That would be a nice little feature.
Looks nice. I haven't downloaded it yet, but on the second screenshot tab can you add a "custom" option to put in a port that isn't listed?

I'm adding a scheduling feature at the moment that will allow for the system to run at defined to monitor selected ports.

Duh - don't know why I didn't think of that. It will be added to the next release. I'm fighting off a bout of bronchitis at the moment, but hopefully the next release will be in a week or so and include this along with the scheduling.

XML is the easier way to go. This should also allow you to bull the "jobs.xml" over to a PC for easier editing. Then push it back to the device.
did you foillow up with more developements such scheduling and alerts?
I looked at the website but it didn't seem to have een updated...
I didn't know how to use the "uploader" option in settings up to today. After opening an image, I notice there was an option to upload the photos I took from my Fuze to Facebook (and it is great). When I did this for the first time, I was taking to the facebook login page (not from my browser, but from some integrated application). I tried a couple of photos and it works just great. However, I couldn't find a way to go back to that login page. So I was wondering if any of you can show me how to log in with a different username.
Thanks
go to settings -> connections -> account manager. there is also an option to sign into youtube to upload videos from the phone. now if only we could upload videos to facebook

Thank you, this really helps.
I was wondering if there is a way I can setup an account to upload picture to my personal web pages instead of facebook now
Ask some chefs who have cooked that feature into their ROMs. Probably not that much harder than changing a link
Album.exe does a handoff to any .exe name you like, to process the file.. so you could do a couple registry entries to make it handoff to yourprogram.exe.. and it would open yourprogram.exe with the image name as a parameter..
so then within your program you can make it do whatever you like with the image (upload to a website, make funny faces, etc)
Guys, my fuze does not have an option to upload photos to youtube or facebook nor does it have theses settings in my settings. How do I get theses options on the fuze?

It depends on the rom you have installed and I think most of the chefs now are including them in their rom.
if you the stock ATT ROM then you need to flash something like ROMeOS or LantisOS (I have a Fuze and I prefer LantisOS) There are guides on what you need to do in the ROM section. Also with the Fuze you need to install the Fuze keyboard fix. It's safe-ish once you Hard-SPL the device and not that hard (I'm only 14)
Hi guys,
first of all apologies for advertising this little software I wrote on these pages. If it isnt allowed, mods please remove this.
I have recently published a little app I wrote. Name is TellyZap and you can find it on the market in two flavours: a Lite version and a Pro version.
heres the Lite version:
http://www.androlib.com/android.appl...lite-xtxq.aspx
and the Pro:
http://www.androlib.com/android.appl..._pro-xtxj.aspx
They both support 67 channels, european channels for the moment, however I thought that with satellite/digital becoming very popular very quick, some europeans could have a use for it too.
TellyZap allows you to view a full programme listing for the 7 days from the date of consultation. Has categories (soap, documentaries, movie etc..) and will give you a description of the program, time, channel etc.
the Lite version is limited to the day of consultation, and will not show the programme description, but only its title and time of airing.
The Pro version allows also to send a programme to one of your contacts in form of an SMS or Email. It also allows you to send your favourite programme to your calendar so you wont miss it !
I hope some of you will try it, and let me know your feedback. If you find any issues/bugs or have requests I will be glad to entertain them, just drop me an email at the address specified in the market, of pm me here.
And if you find it useful, I wont stand in the way of a little contribution for my work.
thanks for reading!
