simple PHP ping script (you only need 1 web server)

They even send me a SMS when my site is down (which this script can't do) and it's free too:-)

Nothing is free. You're then paying with your data. ;-)

Yes this script could do this.... just add the php mail function to email your cellular provider...... every provider has an email address you can send the texts to a phone with...

like [email protected]

I use statuscake plus uptime robot. Perfect to assist in freqeuent checks (good chance less than 5 mins togehter) and multiple locations worldwide.

Here's an updated one that doesn't freeze if the host is down, it also continually checks the host every 6 seconds:

So both DNS servers are hosted by yourself?

Just set it up on serverstatus.gopagoda.com

Now the status page will never go down.

FYI, I wrote a simple class, Ping for PHP that uses system ping (by default—it can use other methods) and works with Windows/Mac/Linux. It makes the actual pinging super-easy.

I use that class for PHP-powered pinging and jjg-ping for Node.js-powered pinging with Server Check.in (related—see LET offer here).

I've written a few simple scripts to help check server statuses using Ping and a custom curl callback that I use for different one-off monitoring solutions, too (like when the servers are on an internal network and couldn't be monitored easily with a service or nagios externally), and they inevitably end up something like what's being passed around this thread ;-)

This got me thinking about a simple way to traceroute.

Very nice! Looks like the class is already very flexible/useful!

I wanted to join the bandwagon so here's my rewrite:

Code: http://paste.kde.org/pc6344ab0/

Demo: http://tools.io/misc/status.php

Also this could be much better, for example it'll take forever for down hosts.

Anyone here who still has this build?

Ah, well. Just got the script from @clone1018 itself
