I wonder if it would be just as easy to create a simple cgi using bash....

and put the echo statements in as umm html or whatever.


hosts="host1 host2 host3"

for i in $hosts do
   ping -c2 $i
   # just guessing about return value here
   if [ "$?"="0" ] ; then
       echo "Host $i is UP"
   else
       echo "Host $i is DOWN"

   fi
done
