If there are, it would ping the servers and log a report about the status of the pings.

Even so, it would lag out on a user who is unlucky enough to have spawned the scheduled task. I was contemplating forking the process, but most installations of PHP do not have this feature turned on so I decided against it.

The best bet is to find a ping service that automatically pings other services for you like pingomatic. My problem with pingomatic has always been that it never seems to ping anything.
