Since I've had to look this up on a number of occasions I know others must too. It's a common problem: you need to leave ping running to catch elusive network failures but you need to know not just if but WHEN the network failed. There's as many solutions as there are threads but I feel that
a program called fping offers the best solution to the timestamp problem (and a bunch of other nifty features as well). For instance unlike with normal ping simply redirected to a file, fping can log to a file while displaying console output. Nifty!
