Good question. One possibility is a "traffic light" gadget I developed:

If you check the PG built-in samples, there's also a demo using
computers to indicate their status by either red or green (or similar).

actually traffic light may not be necessary, how about using digital panel
to state "1" as service is uo, "0" means service down ?

Oops! That comes from www.codeplex.com/powershellcx.

I can either:
1. Provide you .NET code to call from PowerShell to do the same thing.
or
2. Help you do that digital gauge that might just say "UP" or "DOWN".

Pick #1 or #2 or both!

01-14-2008

both.

i would like to learn from you, mr MVP :-)

#1:
PSH> ./ping|out-gauge -type digital
PSH> get-content ping.ps1
$computer="localhost"

$ping= new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$response=$ping.send($computer)

if ($response.Status -eq "Success")
{
$computer+" is up"
}
else
{
$computer+" is down"
}

#2:
Using .NET to get a random number:
PSH> $rand=new-object System.Random
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5) <--Gives a random number, only 0,1,2,3 or 4
3
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
4
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
1

yeap i got the concepts.

If i have a list of computers to ping, can i have a *group gadget* or one
gadget for every single machine ?
