Tool to check network connectivity

[Chandrahasa s]

Hi Masters,

I am looking for tool(or script)which will monitor multiple servers connectivity(ping) and send alert if any server found not reachable.
Tool should be opensource and able to install on hpunix system.

Why not write a script yourself?

Console message? E-mail?

> [...] on hpunix system.

Then why ask in a Linux forum instead of in
an HP-UX forum?

Shalom,

linkloop.

Take a look at my latest post on http://hpux.ws and steal the linkloop line.

Very good check of network connectivity.

HP-UX only, and btw you posted to Linux.

HP's openview/ITO tool sets and open source hobbit have good network monitoring that do work on Linux and HP-UX

There is a port of linkloop to Linux. it may also be an optional package in SLES11.

Chandrahasa,

Check this out:
The code using here is :
# ping -c n servername
[ -c n is number of packets to send , usually 2 or 3 is enough to determine the status. ]

Hi,

better than searching for a tool, it will be easy to right a small script for this as you want to check only ping.

Apparently you aren't looking for forum
points, either.

You can include

UDN (Unreachable Device Notification)

into your (windows) SMH!
