Hey Linux Gurus!

I´m kinda new in this, but i am trying my best and i think i am making good improvements.

I wrote that "PingPong" script and i thought that i might be a nice tool. It calls you when one of your servers/hosts are down.

I can even ping 10 different host with it, and i will alway get the message to my mobile phone.

All u need is a ISDN Card ;)

What do you think?

It might be a poor coding style, but HEY, it works ;)

Regards

Spiekey
