Motivation

We have in our Foswiki IT documentation. If we will see in Topic if server is online or offline, this will be great.

Description and Documentation

Something like this:

%IF{"PING{192.168.1.1}" then="OK" }%

or

%IF{"PING{www.mydomain.xxx}" then="Server is OK" else "Server is OFF"}%

This is best implemented as a Foswiki Extension, a PingPlugin. You are free to code one yourself. Start reading here.

Feature Proposals as you created one here on this page are only required for changes to the Foswiki core code, including plugins that are shipped as part of the standard Foswiki software distribution.

Thank you, I am done with my PingPlugin. Work like a charm. I created my Plugin with this Help: https://foswiki.org/Development/HowToMakeSimplePlugin
