I'm right there with you on status monitors. I run one too, for the same
reason. But I'll make a suggestion. Have your script email you went it does
do a restart. That way, if you make sure a mistake like you just did, you
will discover it relatively quickly. In addition, if anything ever does
start going haywire with your system (like it needs to restart every day),
you'll be clued in that something is going wrong instead of having it
hidden from you.
