You can use http://uptimerobot.com/ I monitor wikipedia censorship using it ;)

If you're on a Mac I recommend using 'say' instead of 'echo'. Then you'll hear when it's finished instead of having to check the terminal (which kind of defeats the purpose)

On linux, you can use espeak as it is installed by default as text-to-speach engine:

echo "Nexus 5 launched" | espeak

Or echo -e "\aNexus 5 is launched" perhaps.
