if server is up

[raider2k]

hi,

at the moment im thinking of some kind of server ifup check executed by an eggdrop on irc. so im looking for any kind of advices on how to do this the best way.

example:

Code: Select all

nick: !ifup
bot: server 1: online
bot: server 2: offline

something like this, not sure if just pinging is a good idea/reliable way to do this. all base systems are debian if thats of any help.

thanks in advance for help
