I would like to monitor multiple Windows servers to know when they go down/crash. I am looking for a small app (not like Net IQ) similiar to a ping server that can run on a Windows platform. A shareware based app is fine. If the app can monitor morethings that would be good as well.

If the app is awesome I will greatly increase the point value.

Here is an excellent program that you can use to monitor up to a maximum of 100 servers.

Servers Alive can monitor any Winsock service (FTP, HTTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, DNS, Echo, Gopher, and Telnet) or ping a host/machine. When any of these servers is down, it can warn you with a sound (WAV file), a visual indication (change of the title bar, and a red NO or OK indication), or an email (SMTP) saying who is down. Also, the program can be used through a Telnet client or Web browser. This program can monitor up to 100 hosts.

Below is the link to the site to get this program.

I am looking for a small program that is inexpensive. Preferablly something home grown that is very inexpensive. I will be adding this app to my library of Admin apps I take to all my various jobs.
