Whilst at it, you can also include this:
ServerSignature Off
This line tells Apache not to display server version and virtual host name in server-generated pages.
And put a standard index.html in all the directories so that people won't see the directory listing shown by Apache.
Ever since SMS appeared on the scene, the much maligned - always harassed Sysadmins heaved a sigh of relief - You don't have to be physically present to check the operations of your server. I check a host of parameters like free memory,free swap/disk space,number of connections etc in a server and the server sends a packet of data to a central monitoring server which checks for the 'trip' condition from all the reporting servers. If there is a 'trip' indication, this central server dashes off a SMS to my mobile. Often you can avoid a disastrous shutdown by this method. Thanks to these technologies, we need no longer be tied to our servers by an umbilical cord.
