Looking for certain program/batch file

Looking for a free program that you can install on a machine, and have it check others.

It would do something like ping defined machines, every so often which is determined by the user (every hour, 2 hours, etc) and then alert someone if no response to a ping is given.

So, for example, the host machine thats running the program checks 4 other machines (defined by IP address) every 30 mins.

Machine two has either lost connectivity or has gone down (i.e. not responding to pings), so the program on the host machine alerts the admin.

Prefferably by email, although other methods would be good.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thankyou both, at the moment I am trialling something called 'servers alive', which has lots of funky options, including instant messenger alerts (msn, yahoo, AIM etc).

Sadly, when I test it it works, but when a machine is down it knows but it doesnt seem to send the alerts!

Hmm....
 
I've seen PingPlotter used before, I don't know if it'll do what you want but take a look at http://www.pingplotter.com/products.html.

I seem to remember using the shareware version at a previous company to monitor devices on a community broadband wireless network, but not much more than that.

We used it to email a single distribution list address which included techies and orange email accounts, which would in turn be translated by Orange into an SMS and sent to phones. Crude, but cheap and effective!
