what's a good ping tester I can setup on a FC2 box, perferably without any X-windows. Just need to ping a couple sites and if there's a problem email the person responsible for that site.
I'm a Linux newbie but if you just need to ping a ip address or url try typing something like:
ping -c 5 www.redhat.com
Which will ping redhat's site 5 times. By writing a little script that pipes several pings into a log file you can ping a bunch of sites at once. Add your script to cron and your computer will auto check at any time frequency you want. Don't know if this is what you meant by ping tester.
