asterisk users - Jul 2007 - Crontab script to check health of Asterisk server?

Has anybody created a crontab script to check the health of an Asterisk
server?

The part I'm struggling with is some sort of IAX "ping" to test
the
connection to each provider without making a call.

The VoIP wiki has a page[1] dedicated to Asterisk monitoring, including
links to a couple of Perl scripts that will do an IAX "POKE" to see if
the provider is responding, and allow you to measure the latency as
well.  I've also heard that one of the Asterisk developers is working on
a command-line tool (probably in compiled C) to do similar things as
well.  You might also want to check the iaxclient community and see if
they have anything written that could help you.

Define health. I was working on but gave up on it (no time) to have serverA 
call serverB. ServerB has an agi that it runs that stores info in DB. if 
serverB doesn't get a call then we know that there are issues (and run the 
script vice versa).
