About Java Website Monitor
---------------------------------------------------
This is a Java based website monitoring tool.

The Java Website Monitor is a java program that tries to detect if a website is up and 
if not send an SMTP email to a list of valid email addresses.  It can be run with or 
without SMTP authentication and with or without SSL provided that the proper site 
certificate is installed in the keystore.

This was created as a free alternative to http://www.alertsite.com.  Granted its not as 
thourough as alertsite but it gets the job done.

It can be run by a command line or set up as cron job (see INSTALL).
