IPCheck 2
IPCheck is designed to continuously monitor one or more servers. It alerts webmasters if a webserver is not working correctly because the web service is down, CGI scripts return errors or the SQL server is not reachable. IPCheck analyzes the results and notifies the administrator when problems are identified. Additionally it can constantly monitor servers by attempting to connect through a PING command or through a specific port (e.g. HTTP=80, SMTP=25). Our Review: Aaah, if I had a dollar for every server monitoring program that has come into my inbox I'd probably have about $20. IPCheck, however, does more than just constantly pinging a server in order to see whether it's up or not. IPCheck can also connect through a specific port or HTTP connection to see if everything is working properly. It can also be set up to do e-mail alerts to the system adminstrator if anything goes wrong. It was only let down by its rather unhelpful interface which expects the user to know what they are doing straightaway, but is otherwise pretty good!
