Also Microsoft's Sysinternals uptime.exe is good. It does not monitor
real time but gives very good info.

You can execute from your workstation across your network to servers. I
do it over WAN link and its very responsive.

This is an output:

Uptime Report for: \\server03

Current OS: Microsoft Windows 2000, Service Pack 4, Multiprocessor Free.
Time Zone: Pacific Daylight Time

Subject: Upptime report tools?

Hello !

Om looking fo a tool to monitor my servers uptime.
Thinking of pinging som domains and maybe have som script running in the
servers to give an Ok if server is good.

A am tilting towards Nagios for there tool to genriate automatic
repports for uptime.
But anyone using any thing else?
