Hi folks, I have a server running in a University netowrk, and it periodically becomes inaccessible for hours at a time. I've spoken the the network admins, who aren't exactly linux- friendly, and they insist the problem must be with my box (I htink it's something to do with the ethernet jack & the switch it's connected to).
In order to bolster my case, I would like to set up a little program that periodically checks the following: -state of the eth0 device (up or down) -state of the connection to the local gateway I connect through -state of the connection to a laptop connected via a simple 10/100 hub in my office -state of the connection to the outside world (e.g. can I ping google?) -CPU load -memory load Anyone have any suggestions how I might do something like this? In the very best case, the program would dump the data into a form that could easily be plotted on a graph, so I'd get a graph of all these variables over time as the main output. Or ifthere's a tool that does some part of this without me having to do all kinds of programming work, that would be even better -- since I am a LOUSY programmer.
