Linux Server Check
Hi,

Is there a way to check linux server is up or not from my desktop (windows 7)?

from the command prompt or powershell script. I have about 100 servers which I have to check daily..right now, i ssh to terminal with my login to verify.

Thanks,
vasu

You could ping their IP addressess.

More detailed ways to check depend on what services you expect to be operating on them.

As Corona688 said, if you just want to know whether a specific machine is "up" you can just ping it and see if it responds. Checking the status of services / processes is a different story.

Anyway, instead of using Windows's native command prompt, you could install Cygwin and its ssh complement, which gives you access to a Linux-like console from inside Windows. That way you can write a script just like you'd do it in Linux for pinging / testing services purposes.
