So I want an SMS after 3, 8 and 13 minutes of the host being down, then a recovery SMS.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Is this possible?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks in advance<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Kind Regards<o:p></o:p> Andrew<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> T: 01386 834000 F: 01386 834100<o:p></o:p> <a href="mailto:Andrew@fulgent.co.uk">Andrew@fulgent.co.uk</a> <a href="http://www.fulgent.co.uk/" title="http://www.fulgent.co.uk/">www.fulgent.co.uk</a> <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Fulgent Technologies Limited, Haddonsacre, Station Road, Offenham, Evesham, WR11 8JJ.
