<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">@James, since you are looking at the code for Xymon you probably understand C. I would suggest, without doing the project for you, that you use the basic xymonping.c
code for the networking stuff and write your own HTML provider. It can be as simple as something that generate new HTML pages every 5 minutes and uses Apache as the web server…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
