Thanks Erik.  I've got the script working pretty good without using 
cron. My site was just down for about 15 minutes, and my script told me 
when it went down, and when it came back up. It was down for about five 
minutes earlier today too, so I'm going to get on my web host to find 
out why it keeps going down. [it's a windows server is why] 8-)
