I built something like this but just injected a call with a play file  
into the call queue.

Most times its just more damn annoying than anything else and is no  
longer in use. when you already know there is a problem you don't want  
to have to go answer the phone just to make it stop trying to get a  
call through.

SMS is more effective since the messages just pile up and you don't  
need to answer each one, especially if you are already busy dealing  
with it.

PS: another mistake I made was a second "everything is ok" call once  
the problem goes away, much better to be able to check status on  
demand than get that.


there are plenty of things like opennms that can generate the "down"  
events already, just use one of those and script whatever action you  
want to happen.
