That is a _very_ nice idea and shouldn't be too hard to implement. In addition to just ping, I'd probably also like to monitor a given port on the remote machine, so that maybe the application should display +-------------------+ | o server port o | +-------------------+ (with the 'o's being red or green depending on status, possibly blinking if inactive) Or: +-------------------------------------+ | server o port1 o port2 o port3 o | +-------------------------------------+ Number of ports and which ports configurable via the config-file, as well as action taken on port-down (such as play audio, send mail, just change in color). Yes, I think I want that. Go write it, quick. :) (I'll be happy to help/contribute.) -Jan -- Wenn ich tot bin, mir soll mal Einer mit Auferstehung oder so kommen, ich hau ihm eine rein!
