I run a program that auto-pings several IP addresses each minute to let me know when there are connectivity issues at several of my company’s offices. The program runs on a desktop in my office. I use my laptop all day. The desktop is used by some other employees.
Here’s what I wanted to do.
I wanted to dedicate a portion of my laptop monitor, for example, the top left quarter, to this program on the desktop that does the auto-pinging. I was looking for a command file (not MORE) that canwrite text files to do this. Maybe an error log from the desktop can pop-up (or even remain in the top left) on my laptop monitor when an office loses connectivity
The reason I was trying to accomplish this was so the emails alerting me an officewas down would be less frequent, but this could be solved by requiring no email alerts unless not one but five consecutive ping attempts do not reply.
But I still want to know how to do this. The specific example became less important but I want to be able to have set this up anyway so I can apply when something comes up next time.
Any good ideas?
