[grc] Monitoring Online Stream Silence

[Simon Frech]

One option is the free http://pira.cz/show.asp?art=silence silence sensor on a PC. It can send you an email or text when it detects x number of silence. You probably have to feed it analog audio. 

With some streaming services like Streamguys you can subscribe to get alerts.

We have online streams that occasionally go down; when they do we only find out about it from listeners who are unable to tune in. Is there any services or programs that anyone out there uses to get a foot on this before the complaints come rolling in?
