I think it would be cool if I wrote a program to monitor wikipedia hourly or so from my home computer. When the program gets the 'could not connect to wikipedia' command, it sends a single line ssh command to the server which will kick it in the pants.
What would that single line be?
Email me offlist, I guess, if there's a db password in the command.
