host availability

Hi

I would like to get a perl, python script that would do the following:

Tell me when a host from a list of hosts went up or down, such as google.com, my default gateway, comcast's mail server etc.

Log the change in state for any host in the list to the /var/log/messages.

Basically I want to see when my services are down.

Does anyone know of some scripts that do this?
