Checking Routers and PCs running TCP/IP Alive

Hi,
I would like to write software to check that routers and PCs running
TCP/IP are alive? I want to write some code that will ping the different
machines to check that they are alive. Is there source code available
for ping or something similiar?

I have been perusing the ping.c from the link below. Does anyone know
what SIGINFO translates to in Qnx4

Totally non-authoritative answer: Google found a page talking about the
use of SIGINFO with the find cmd to cause it report its progress while
running. Maybe SIGUSR[12] could serve the purpose?
