At the weekend we were visited at work by some joy riders..

Unfortunaly while they were helling around the building they hit one of our
air con units, The one that cools our server room.

I remote monitor the servers and get a page if anythig goes amiss at 4am..
Like server shut down or prolongs power failure etc. etc. using a piece of
software called Hostmon by KS-soft
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index.htm
I have found this very good.
untill this as I am not sure how to cheaply like server room temp into this
so that I can be remotly informed of tempture increse, I can be supplied
with a set of NC or NO on fault contacts controled by the Aircon, I am
still
awaiting the price of this extra control pannel.

If the most cost efective route in monitoring a set of NO or NC contacts
how
is the best way to connect this to a PC or are there simple Temp Solutions
out there for a resonable price..


Oh and I have some pix of the damage they did.. AirCon now 2mrts from where
it was friday night.

I know its not a award winning page.. I just needed to put them up for some
other people to see (Police / insurance etc. etc.)


Thanks
