monitoring a script via ircby morgon (Priest) |

morgon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi I have some stuff running on a little openwrt device that will be moving between networks and I cannot always connect to it. But nevertheless I would like to monitor it, and so I came up with the idea of using irc for that, ie. my script would simply send every 30 mins or so a status-message to a private channel. I've just tried it out and technically it would be extremely simple (which is important as I don't have access to the whole of CPAN on Openwrt but I have IO::Socket and IO::Select and that's enough for irc) but as I never really used irc a lot I wonder if maybe there are issues I don't see at the moment (like server-operators maybe identifying and banning such bots). So my question is: Would this be a good idea and if so what server would be best (I am currently using foonetic)?
