I have a network consisting nodes(computers, with ubuntu) with 1 node as root. I am building a fault management system for it, for which, lets say root sends IP address of a node A to node B(through sockets).

Now node B has to ping node A repeatedly to check the network. How should I do this. I mean is there a way to write C/C++ program which given an IP address pings the node and report the problem. Or do I have to write some script or anything?

You could use Perl and the Net::Ping module, a short script could do this. Or use something like Big Sister for network monitoring.
