    I see your point ... however, the reason for this was to be alerted
    when the disk dies. The server is hosted in a Internet Data Centre and
    thus no one looks at it. I was hoping the pager would help us in this
    situation... but I guess not.

    Alvin... Thanks once again for this input. You've helped me in making
    the decision on what to do...
