I'm a Linux newbie but if you just need to ping a ip address or url try
typing something like:
ping -c 5 www.redhat.com
Which will ping redhat's site 5 times. By writing a little script that
pipes several pings into a log file you can ping a bunch of sites at
once. Add your script to cron and your computer will auto check at any
time frequency you want. Don't know if this is what you meant by ping
tester.
