Simple network top (sntop) is a curses-based console utility in the spirit of top that polls network hosts at a regular interval to determine their connectivity and displays the results in a pretty format. Advanced features are supported, such as automatic HTML generation of results, secure terminal mode, execution of an external file on connectivity changes, a daemon mode, and user/system configure files.

sntop uses fping (ping is supported, too) to determine connectivity of hosts, specified in a config file, on a regular interval. the results are displayed in a top-like format.
advanced features include html generation of results for automatic web page, secure terminal mode, execution of external file on alarm (configurable for either host DOWN or any change in host status), color support, and both user and system-wide config files.
sntop aims supports all unixes and platforms

What's New in This Release:
o fix lack of -a and -l flags (short versions of --alarm and --log)
o merge FreeBSD ports upstream changes:
distribute manpage uncompressed
more strictly follow @prefix@ values: no hard coded paths
