I am looking for an application that gives an end user simple network status. I want it to be in the form of a web page using the users default web browser. Therefore, it will have to have its own web server on whatever port. Bottom line, it needs to do a bunch of crap.
Verify Various TCP Communications
Current IP address
HTTP and HTTPS ??" Verify that the website is available
FTP ??" Verify it can communicate with FTP Site
DNS ??" Verify DNS
TELNET ??" Verify Telnet Session
Oracle DB Test ??" Unsure how to test
SQL ??" Verify MS-SQL server connection
My SQL ??" Verify MySQL connection
NT Stuff (shares, server availability)
The hard Stuff:
Lotus Domino server availability, this is not entirely important but would be nice; I think Domino has support for com objects. (I basically want it to open the address book).
GUI ??" I want to use the default web browser with pictures and colors
Backend:
It should get its customized settings from a dat/text/ini file.
The reasoning:
I have a bunch of laptop users that I support remotely and nothing irritates me more to find out they are not even connected to the internet. This will cut down on a few steps.
I’m not sure if I am asking the impossible but hopefully someone out there knows what I’m trying to achieve.
