Pinger script from https://thehawken.org/fs

Setup

This system runs with some files in a web directory and some files outside of the web directory. You will find web/config.php.inc which has to be configured and renamed to config.php. After this, you will find offline/getservers.php and offline/fs. Both have to be configured to reflect what you decided in config.php. Afterwards, the fs script has to be added to your crontab:

*/5 *     * * * www-data    bash /offline/path/fs

This will make it run every 5 minutes. If it doesn't work, I'm 90% sure you can blame file permissions. Make sure the user used by your webserver matches crontab, and make sure example.status is writable and accessible.

Dependencies

• php5-cli
• web server with php
• fping
• bash

You might also need to mess with PHPs permissions in order to get it to read files outside of your web directory. Generally found in /etc/php5
