Re: Ping Test Utility

You could try "mtr x.x.x.x". MTR combines the ping and traceroute
utilities.

Thanks heaps for the offer, but it's hardly worth the effort it is
only for one host and only for 48 hours to test a hardware VPN

do the trick in this case!

Thanks again!

So yeah, not Nagios. Ya know you can wrap 'ping' in a bash
script...have it delay, try three pings, and return the result. In an
'if' statement this could send you mail, etc. I think you've picked the
right tool for this job.

If you're part of a Linux support team, the kind that keeps servers
on their toes, the Nagios plan is a good one...and customers LOVE being
able to go to a web page and getting a summary of what's going on, and
all that. Customer service is how Linux is going to take, and keep
ground in the marketplace.

But I'm rambling; must be the painkiller I took for this spiderbite;
I'll shut up, now...

:)

Good luck!
