Remember that code you talked about that ran "ping" continuously and
then analyzed the results to say exactly when things went down and came
back? Can I have a copy? I could recreate it myself, but it would
probably take a couple hours, and our ISP doesn't believe we're losing
connectivity for a couple minutes at a time. Thanks!

Here you go - Pinger v1.21.
I haven't touched the code in an age, so it may have bit-rotted by now.
I usually run it using FreeWrap, but no reason why it shouldn't work
with some other Tcl interpretter. [I'm pretty sure it doesn't use
anything special other than Tk.]
If it works properly, you should be able to just 'source' it and then
say "Do www.google.co.uk" [or whoever you want to ping] and it will
create a file called Log--2008-Feb-27--www.google.co.uk.txt containing a
summary of the ping results. It also shows an interactive display
indicating whether pinging is currently succeeding or failing, and
exactly when the status last changed. [And also some trivial statistics
for ping times if pinging is currently working.]
All this is ASSUMING IT WORKS. It works by doing an 'exec ping' and
parsing the output. As such, it only works with one version of the ping
command - and I'm not actually sure whether it's set up for Windows NT
or Windows XP. If it doesn't work out of the box, poke the 'Ping' proc.
(Duh!) Note that the console window [assuming you didn't hide it]
scrolls some potentially useful debug data during pinging.
There is also a glitch where if a host doesn't answer ping initially,
the code things it's a DNS error [even if you use an IP address] and
stops pinging.
In short, it's buggy. But it might do what you want... Please enjoy
responsibly.

Excellent! Thanks! I'll see if I can get it working under Linux, then
maybe even incorporate it into the monitoring subsystem of the setup.

In that case it's *highly* likely you'll have to frobnicate the output
parsing code. (Although I think on Linux it's usually quite similar to
Windows XP... maybe...)

You might also look at mon - http://freshmeat.net/projects/mon/ - I've
used this before and it has a lot of flexibility beyond a ping test
(though ping test is something it can do as well).

Thanks. I've seen it. I already have a whole monitoring subsystem set
up. I just have to add the Tcl routine that gets called to check on
things and send messages, and then configure which machines run it. :-)

Cool, it's a real word. I have never seen or heard that word, ever, and I
was an avid scrabble player in my youth.

Yeah, I found it in povray.off-topic. It was somebody's word of the day...
