Wait until they start to fail ...
I cursed the day my company gave me a cell phone!
OTOH computers are patient.

Good Luck!

In fact I did NOT know what you meant - I thought you were complaining about
them constantly sending you failures!

Hmm, I don't get it. Is the milestone that you got all computers to send 
messages on failure, or that all computers had a critical failure at the 
same time? :)

Here's hoping they don't all go off at the same time. :-)

Keeping an eye on everything running is a fairly major subsystem of the 
network of machines. (We need machines physically in various cities for 
reasons I'm not yet allowed to describe.) But since I've done this kind 
of thing a couple times before (well, not to this scale, but...), I knew 
the basic setup we needed.

I was actually thinking about writing it up, in a sort of "how to design 
a mid-sized distributed management system" sort of way. Certainly 
nothing at a google or amazon level, but the sort of thing that a 
handful of people at a startup would like to know.

Sorry. Bad wording. The milestone is that the software and the 
monitoring subsystem is working well enough that the author of the code 
(i.e., me) is willing to actually get calls on the cell phone for every 
failure.

I don't either, but I don't let that stop me - to my detriment.

Of course you and Murphy know that the messaging subsystem will be the first
one to be decomisioned by the failure, right?

I get periodic "the message subsystem is working" messages too. BTDTGTTS.

"Hi! This is your system speaking. Just to let you know that there's 
absolutely nothing I need to let you know. I just woke you up at 2 AM to 
tell you that. Bye!"
