I am looking for a piece of software that will run a ping test every so often and send an email if the ping test fails.
I know you can spend thousands of bucks on software that will do this, but I left my wallet at home..so i am looking for something free or cheap;
or...
how easy would it be to write something like this?
The reason being..I have a VPN and one node continually goes down. I am thinking that an occasional ping test might help maintain the connection keeping it from going down as often; and if it does go down; I will get notified.
any good input is appreciated
Thanks
