We run Listserv on Windows and monitor with SiteScope.  We watch the Listserv service, verify that port 25 is available, and check for the website.  I've thought of implementing a "thanks/you're welcome" check, but haven't done so.

Subject: [LSTSRV-L] Monitoring Listserv

I need to monitor Listserv so I know when it goes down.  We are running 
14.4 on Solaris and want to monitor the system using Sitescope.  I've 
seen mention in other postings about managers running a job every xx 
number of minutes to make sure the system is still running.  What kind 
of job would that be?  What does it look for?
