Couldn't you write a script to check the status periodically?
Sure, I suppose scraping the web status page would work. If it happened frequently I'd probably be forced to do something like that, but it's relatively low frequency (though I guess it does have a big impact in terms of availability) makes it hard to dedicate time to that compared to my "real world" work :-)
In addition, if it was happening frequently, we would rather investigate the problem and fix it, than working around. Regards, Martin
