<font face="Arial">If my hardware and software firewalls block ping
requests, what do you guys suggest as an alternative to ping to
determine that a server is up and running? I intend to eventually
setup check_by_ssh checks for each server for various things like hard
disk space, etc but I was wondering if there was something else that
might be good for just checking that a system is up and running.<br>
