[ale] Tomcat Monitoring

[DJ-Pfulio]

When my Comcast Biz was down so often, wrote a few tiny ping scripts to
keep track - facts shuts up CSRs pretty quickly trying to blame anything
else, but their service. I offered to send them logs. They declined and
rolled a truck. Current:

$ internet-up-summary.sh
 Period 20161002-064411  - 20161004-191211
  Total Time: 3630 (min) 60.50 (hrs)
  Percent Up Time: 99.94 %
  Percent Down Time: 0.06 %
  Total Down Time: 2 min or 0.03 hrs
 Currently: UP

Been pretty great service since they fixed it in July, but not 100%.
Keeping 12 weeks of log files - gotta love logrotate.

However, be certain to get them to disable the Xfinity wifi crap. I
watched the tech do it and the following day it was back on. Seems we
have to call and complain a few times until they alter the router setup
at their end to really disabled it.
