Give this a try.
I can't remember where the code came from so forgive me if I didn't give the
proper credit to the author.
use Net::Ping;
$p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
if (($p->ping($your_hostip, 2)) eq 0)
{
If no response do this.
}
sleep(1);
$p->close();

Subject: System Health Checks...
So I have a bunch of systems in my network that require a monitoring system
to
test if network connectivity is there (sound familiar anyone?). So, rather
than
try some of the many programs out there for this, I, naturally, decided to
write
a cgi in perl! Woo Hoo!
At first I thought about opening a socket to each system to test it, and
that worked
except for the NT hosts.(They weren't running the ssh service that the *Nix
systems were).
Then I thought about doing a ping, but I am having trouble finding a module
for ICMP, so,
before I code a little more for ICMP, can anyone point me towards a module
that uses ICMP
with nearly the same syntax as IO::Socket has for tcp?
Thanks.
