I would send myself an email because that's the mechanism I want to use to be notified. I could do this by tailing the existing logs, but then it would not be instant, and I don't have access to "live" logs with my shared host. And it's not a hassle, and this is not for a page with huge amounts of traffic. I also execute this script after the page has loaded so there is no load time impact on the user. If it got into a resource issue then that would be a different issue.

My thought is it'd be a lot of hassle when you get hammered by something...your mail server won't be crushed by the load. It would also save a lot of page load time as mail generation is quite time consuming. | |
