Ruby on Rails Monday, September 9, 2013

I found that both of my Rails sites went down tonight without my knowledge, and I was getting 502 errors when I tried to visit these sites.  Both are hosted by the same company.  Fortunately, I was able to get the sites back up and running simply by restarting them.

Are there any services out there that I can use to automatically monitor my sites and send me an email and/or text message if my sites go down?

Additionally, would it be a good idea to set the cron jobs on my sites to automatically restart the sites on a regular basis?  If so, how often should my sites be restarted?
