“Checking whether a specific Web server is up and
running is as easy as issuing the ping command in the terminal, but
if you are looking for a more versatile tool that you can use while
on the move, try httpmon for Android. For starters, this nifty tool
lets you set up multiple monitoring profiles, which can come in
handy when you want to keep an eye on several servers. Besides
ping, httpmon supports other monitoring options, such as response
time, response code, and specific header and content strings.
Better yet, you can specify multiple criteria; for example, you can
configure httpmon to ping a specific server and check its response
time in one go.”
