One innovative way to tell when critical agents terminate abruptly is by utilizing text messages on cell phones.  According to Doug Burns, you can enter your cell phone number as an email address, which will allow you to receive a text message on your phone when an agent terminates.  Conversely, you can correct terminating agents by setting up a mail-in database to receive a text message and trigger the agent.

But, in order to use text messages this way you need to create a mail file that is associated with a mail-in database.  Also, you need to create an agent that runs when new mail arrives.  Then send a text message to the address of the mail-in database and give it a code or one-word name in the body.  The agent receives this text and then uses it to restart or run the agent.
