I'm writing something like that now in PHP (so it's cross-platform
friendly)... it's in an extremely early edition and I've not even
published anything yet, but it does ping checks on all the servers in
a MySQL table using the in-built sockets libraries. It feeds the data
back into the same database, and there's a web page which displays all
the results.

I'm planning on creating a "plugins" structure, where you can push
code to query specific servers to ask for specific results (e.g. File
& Print server confirms that it has connected to the File & Print
facility or SSH server allows incomming connections) but that's a way
off yet, especially as I'm writing my own.

If anyone wants to help with this, then drop me a line :)
