+Alarm Pinger (apinger) is a little tool which monitors various IP
+devices by simple ICMP echo requests. Unlike most Perl or shell
+script tools, it does not spawn processes or use much CPU time,
+and is ideal for when one wants continuous monitoring and fast
+response upon target failure. It is written in C and supports both
+IPv4 and IPv6.
