site pinger 4 times per hour

Can anyone make a script that ping a website every 15 minutes, for example ping www.sunet.se every 15 mintes. If it can't ping the site, it will send a message to me.

pinging is for checking if the host(ip) is alive .. if you want to check if a site is there you'll prolly need to check if you can get html protocol data from the port that the site is running on .. ( usually 80 )

I had in mind that  it would be a way tp notify me if my internet goes down. I have in DC made so it make a sound each time it recieve a message. So if I'm doing something else, watching TV, playing a game or sleeping, I will get alerted by DC when it goes down
