EMCO Ping Monitor Free 4.6

EMCO Ping Monitor Free is a freeware version of EMCO Ping Monitor and it is based on the PING utility used to test the reachability of any host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. So, with this program you will be able to monitor the reachability of network hosts and websites. You can schedule the days and hours that the hosts will be monitored. The only limitation of this version is that it can monitor up to 5 hosts.

You can use different views for monitoring the hosts, send e-mail reports, and send monitoring notifications to the system tray in case the main window is closed. By default, all the monitored events are logged.

One of the advantages of the program is the "Terminate Actions" feature, which allows you to perform different power-off actions when the connection to all the monitored hosts is lost or failed to establish. You can shut-down, hibernate, log-off, reboot, or close the application. You can also force applications to close for any power-off options. Besides that, you can execute command line scripts and run executable files on certain events such as connection loss, connection restore, and others.

The program allows you to import and export information from XML and CSV files.
