Does anyone know of a utillity I can run on a server to periodically ping several hosts and record the result? Does not need to be anything fancy at all. Matt

It *is* somewhat fancy indeed, but I think it is the simplest among the fancy. Install by simply yumming it in. Less fancy, but also simple: moSSHe (http://www.wyae.de). Both of them will let you record not only ping results, but any imaginable statistics as well. -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina
