EZ Pinger 1.01.061220

EZ Pinger is Maximum is a utility for monitoring and logging uptime and status for server, workstation, and other network and internet connected hosts. It features several types of tests that may be performed on the monitored hosts, and supports several types of notification alerts when hosts go offline/online.
EZ Pinger can perform ICMP PINGs, connect to TCP ports to verify availability of TCP-based services (such as web, FTP, and mail servers), monitor system Services running on Windows-based computers, connect to Windows-based file shares, and download and test web page content via HTTP. EZ Pinger also supports an open plugin architecture so if you need a specific type of test not included above it would be easy for software developers to write a plugin to add it.
