Hi,
I need to monitor a number of IP addresses, so that if they ALL go down (say
three IP's), then that is a pretty good indication that my server has lost
internet connectivity. [snip]
Any idea's on a ping tool or simple script?
Your test would be a little simpler if you just test one IP address:
your ISP's upstream router. Its reachability is quite definitive re:
whether your ISP link is up or down.
Even it it's assigned dynamically by DHCP, you should be able to
write a script that pulls that IP, pings it a few times, and checks
the result. No special tools necessarily required.
