website and ping
I'm looking to develop a page that will automatically ping internal servers to check to see if they're alive or not.
How I'm trying to set this :: every 15 minute its pings all the servers once, if the ping fails, it repeats the ping in 15 seconds and after a given number of attemps (5?), it displays a message on the page next to that computer name saying "DOWN".
What I'm wanting to run this on is a 03 server and not really sure what will be the simplest way, yet somewhat flexable (easy to add additional servers) maybe even submit emails when the process fails. I'm not all that good with programming (me hardware!) but the sites I've found so far are not really helping much. I'm fairly good with VB, vb script, java, etc but its been a while.
Anyway, ideas, examples, etc?

Why reinvent the wheel?
And you can use this to run it as a service.
Who knows maybe they have a web based plugin or something.

if you are using a linux/unix server you could write a server side app to do this, like in php, cgi, perl
not to hard

I'm not running linux anywhere, no need.
That was the theory, create a page anyone could go to at any time and see if email, file services, etc were working/responding. I found a way to do it in VB but it uses the shell to run the ping (lame) and doesn't work well when spliced with a page. Also it requires a person to refresh to get the info current, which I don't want either (want updated every so often, automatically).
Egh, it sucks.

Also Servers Alive will do the same thing. I use this at work.
