 | View Full Version : Uptime and response time tools? bluepixel 06-09-2002, 10:28 PM I was wondering what tools/services people use to check the uptime and response time of a host. (Free vs Pay?) Sorry all for the newbie question :) - Jason. 3zHost 06-09-2002, 10:32 PM Login via ssh and type 'uptime'. There you can see the uptime of a webhost server. As far as response time... I'll leave that upto you.

Works great! It monitors our circuit, all our boxes and other routers around the Internet so we always know exactly what is going on. netacore 06-11-2002, 09:13 PM Try: NetSaint netsaint.org or Big Brother http://bb4.com/ goodness0001 06-11-2002, 09:28 PM Just typing in "uptime" will not get you a very accurate answer, apache could be down while the actual server is still up, or the network could be offline while the server is still online so there are many many situations where that number will be wrong. Sure i can have a server that hasnt been rebooted in 90 days, but that doesnt mean it has been functional for 90 days... bluepixel 06-11-2002, 09:32 PM Thanks to everyone who replied.
