Hi Mitchel,

There are a lot of free monitoring applications already available on the internet. 
You may want to develop it yourself, but you might want to consider using one that has already been developed.

yeah I have been looking at the ones out there....and I am not finding what I want.

I want something that does not have a UI to it, that runs as a windows service, can test any number of sites and can send up and down notification e-mails if desired.

Really lightweight, but effective.  I don't need any reporting on uptime percentages or anything like that, but am just looking for a solid solution that will perform the page requests on the actual time basis that I need.  I have found that host-tracker even set at 15 minutes has been taking at least 1 hour between requests which does no good on a hosted environment with a 20 minute ASP.NET timeout.

You should give this a look.

It uses WSH to do everything you are wanting and more.

The cool part is that you setup new Http monitors with simple XML files, then you can schedule it with the windows task scheduler.

Hi Ed... host tracker for me is set to every 15mins... IIS defaults were at 20mins.  Plenty of overlap.  It just wasn't keeping things up.  Disabling the app pool worker process timeouts seems to do the trick.
