Nixed the solution. He's big on keeping things as simple as possable for easy debugging purposes. As i mentioned before we're monitoring serveral different apps accross 50 or so sql instances. So i understand where he's coming from. We switch the pager weekly between 5 of us so any backend dev work needs to be easily supported between all 5 of us. I'll prob end up createing a vbs that makes the http request and call vbs via .bat file in my proc.

I can't complain. We've finally moved all sql 2000 instances to 2005 or 2008. I'm really enjoying being away for 2000 thats for damn sure.
