Free ping putters software for linux

Pingmaster theme periodically pings selected computer. It is done each 15 minutes (.theme file, line 2, interval in milisecs). Here, as you can see, my theme benefits from program "ping" (.theme file, last line).

So you can specifity computer you want to ping by any way which ping understands. Theme also benefits from programs "grep", "awk", and "date". Last one i have mentioned is used on line 12 in .theme file. There, you can change format of time displayed.

Themes look is made to fit "Ricardos kiramba debian" theme, which you can get at http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=30686.

Remember you must have programs mentioned above.

Pinger is a network monitor tool with optional WWW interface (includes such features as sending SNMP traps to other host and others).

Compiling and Installing:

1. Become root and gunzip/tar sources

2. Create list of hosts to monitor to. I used standard file used by named server (modified as show bellow):

Sample:

... hosts file sample ...
;
; This is file of my hosts
;
;
;PINGER_START
; pingerd will look from here |
vilma A 192.168.3.1
theodor - thomas computer ;)
...
...
; remember, pinger use FIRST world of each line.
;SLEEP xx - sleep xx seconds
;PINGER_STOP
; pingerd will stop here
; All below will not be monitored
non-important.node
... end

anyway - look at template in etc/

3. ./configure ( --help )

4. Edit src/config.h and src/pingerd.h if you have ping path different from /bin/ping.

6. Type make ; make install

7. Insert /usr/sbin/pingerd to your rc.local file.

8. Type /usr/sbin/pingerd or reboot your computer.

9. Move src/*.cgi to your httpd cgi-bin directory

Run www browser and type http://your.host.name/cgi-bin/pinger.cgi

OpenGuides is a wiki-like package for maintaining a collaborative city guide. It is written in Perl and runs as a CGI program, and uses either the MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite database.
OpenGuides offers features over a "normal" wiki such as metadata management and a "find nearby things" function. The look and feel is highly customizable thanks to use of the Template Toolkit.
Enhancements:
- This is mostly a bugfix release, improving character set handling in the database, correcting some latitude/longitude issues, and other miscellaneous bits.
- Also added is the ability to ping external services when updates are made.

Arping is an ARP level ping utility. Its good for finding out if an IP is taken before you have routing to that subnet. You can also ping MAC addresses directly.

Broadcasts a who-has ARP packet on the network and prints answers. VERY useful when you are trying to pick an unused IP for a net that you dont yet have routing to. Then again, if you have no idea what Im talking about then you prolly dont need it.

Arping is util to find out it a specific IP address on the LAN is taken and what MAC address owns it. Sure, you *could* just use ping to find out if its taken and even if the computer blocks ping (and everything else) you still get an entry in your ARP cache. But what if you arent on a routable net? Or the host blocks ping (all ICMP even)? Then youre screwed. Or you use arping.

pmping provides a parallel multiple host ping with audible results (beep on the PC speaker).
pmping is a script that pings multiple hosts in parallel and gives audible results depending on host state.
The sounds come from the internal PC speaker, thus not needing a sound card. It beeps when a host OS is losing many packets, or when it is down.
If the host is down, the script can send an email notification or run a command. All aspects are fully customisable by the user.
Main features:
- Logs notifications to standard output.
- Reloads config file on-the-fly.
- Ability to run a command when a host is down.
- Sends e-mail notifications when a host is down and when it comes up.
Enhancements:
- Corrected dynamic config reload (wasnt really working).
- Try to catch SMTP connection errors when sending notification e-mails.
- Changed the way we check network errors (regex was not working).

Web Ping is a program for testing your internet connection.

Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site. I created this application after my work moved locations and half our network stayed in the old building and the other half moved with us to the new location.

A flaky (significant point) VPN was set up to keep the two connected. Since a couple of the unmoved servers were of interest to me, I keeped checking to see if they were still accessable with the ping command before doing any serious work with them.

A quick and pathetic Google resulted in no other program that meet my needes, so I wrote one.

Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.

Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied.

A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.

Usage:

There are two ways to use Web Ping, GUI or CLI mode. The simplest of the two modes is CLI. Web Ping can be started in CLI mode by passing a url to the jar file in a command line interface like this: "java -jar WebPing.jar http://localhost". Web Ping will automaticly start getting statistics on the requested url, printing results to the screnn.

To quite, press q and then then ENTER key. CLI allows the user to Most people will probably want to use the GUI mode which has a history graph and allows the user to start and stop the session.

The best way to run Web Ping is in GUI mode. GUI mode allows the user start and stop the ping process at will and to change the site that is pinged. Users can also see more information about about the history of the pings and view max values and min values easily. There are three tabs on the top of the page, the first is the application, second is the history list, and the last give information about the application.

PingNode will ping a list of network devices at a specified interval. PingNode will then create a record in a MySQL database for each ping indicating that the node was there or not there.

It will also send an email if the node is found to be down. The index.php page contains a list of monitored hosts with current status.

A detail page contains historical data for a given host.

ToDo:

Seperate table for hosts
Query data by date range
Dynamic host add/delete/modify
Custom Reports
disk space monitor
Process/Service monitor

httping is a "ping"-like tool for HTTP requests. Give it a URL and it will show how long it takes to connect, send a request, and retrieve the reply (only the headers).
httping can be used for monitoring or statistical purposes (measuring latency).
Enhancements:
- A big memory leak in the SSL code was fixed.
- An audible ping mode was added.
