Is their any computer programs that work's like a dead man's switch ? i mean lets say for example i have remote server in Canada and i am in new york and their is a huge power outage in new york and their is no way for me to get internet. Would their be away for me to have a program that would be on my remote server that would after lets say 2 days of me not connecting to it would send out a email to people i want like friends telling them they can not connect to this server right now because of unknown reasons then shut it self down till i actual go their and turn it back on or do any other things i program it to do ?
I just wanna know because i think it would be cool to have that for a server i have in my place.
