Nagios is a bit heavy for a simple ping test, but it's solid and there's lots of examples out there..

Hey all,

Not actually UNIX related, but since a lot of you are network admins you might have some suggestions.

I'd like to keep an eye on a bunch of servers (~20) but all I need to know is which ones are up or down, and if they're down, when they were last "seen". Does anyone know of a simple, free tool that will do that? I don't want details like number of packets lost or any such. Mostly I want to know which machines shut down and in what order.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
