Re: [bitfolk] VPS failover techniques

I certainly don’t need anything as complex as all that. I’m not dealing with anything mission-critical as such and I don’t need it to work seamlessly to the user either, I just need it to be automated. The more I think about this, the more I realise that all I need is an automated way to detect a problem and reboot the server. Ideally, this would happen from an external VPS or other system being able to poke Xen (in case the server cannot restart itself) and ideally this would be tied in to the existing BitFolk monitoring services (if possible) to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
