[OT] Any way to see if a website is up in an automated way?



I am looking for a tool or technique that can automatically check to see if
a specific website is up - say twice a day - and then send me an email if it
isn't. I do not want to have to manually check myself.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I have no money to spend on this so if there is no free service that does
it, I'd be interested in how I can program this, preferably in Java. I
assume that my best bet would be Java application that I could schedule via
Windows XP scheduler but I can code applets and servlets too if that makes
more sense.
