Publisher's description of EZHostCheck
EZHostCheck is a tool created in response to the many tools that already existed that were in my opinion overly complex and costly. Most people have a series of hosts they wish to monitor to ensure their availability but can't spend a bunch of time and resources monitoring them. There are a number of tools which will ping (ICMP) a host and alert when the ping fails, however many times, the host will respond just fine to pings, but the service the host is providing (ie. http, smtp, etc.) will have stopped resulting in that host no longer serving that tcp port request (ie. 80,25,etc.)
With EZHostCheck you add the hosts you wish to monitor and specify if you wish to monitor the host via ICMP or check for the existence of an open TCP port. Moreover, you will be able to choose the desired level of alerting for each host. The result is that each host entry in the monitored list, can have a different monitoring type (ICMP or TCP Port), alert notifications (Play a sound file or send an email) and status levels (you can disable one of the hosts if you know it will be down for a period of time so that it will not bombard you with alerts, etc.) This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

This software version | All versions -
Version: EZHostCheck 1.01
Pros: This was super easy to setup. Runs like a champ. You can configure the frequency of the ping checks and notifications. Very easy to modify and import/export to a CSV file.
Cons: Nada!

Version: EZHostCheck 1.01
"Does what it says on the tin."
Pros: No nonsense monitor that is easy to set up and works well.
Cons: I can see no way to start it in monitoring mode so that it can be run at startup unassisted.

Version: EZHostCheck 1.01
"Excellent monitoring tool for all servers"
Pros: The tool is made up of an easy to use GUI, believe me your kid can also monitor systems with this GUI. Easy to configure and very flexible in terms of how you want the tool to operate on your network.
Cons: The only thing picked up (not a problem), is that you can not test whether your email configurations are correct without simulating a server failure.
Summary: Great all round and specifically for my environment, filled a loophole with my current server power setup and monitoring system..
