Android App to ping a remote server
I want to continually ping my server at work and be notified by my Android phone if the ping fails - ie the server has crashed or the internet connection is down - any suggestions
Check out the following thread for some free or less expensive alternatives to WhatsUp Gold. I didn't realize that the price had gone up so much.

I also just found the following app in the Play store. If you just need a continuous ping, this one does it. The reviews say it has to be in the foreground to alert you, though.
