This is exactly as I do.
In my opinion is the better way to check your Internet activity. As well
check you dns (primary and secondary, just in case).

Hi Miles,
Couldn't you simply check your upstream router from your ISP?

This is fine, but it returns critical if even one of the hosts is down.
Pretty much pointless for using multiple hosts for internet detection. I
want it to return critical only if all hosts are down/unresponsive/slow.
How would I do this?
Also I'm not sure what the point of using the time command is either.
Thanks
Miles
