New member and a question

[Jason Martin]

I suppose there could be a clause in your contract that says
"You shall not employ automated monitoring tools". Otherwise it
would _seem_ that you can monitor it at a reasonable interval.
Once per second wouldn't be reasonable, but a check interval of
several minutes should be fine.
