Notes

The Ping trigger is able to monitor a machine responding to network Ping requests and start a job if the machine does not respond in a reasonable timeframe. The timeframe can be adjusted to suit your network configuration. Be advised that due to the unguaranteed nature of the ping service, it should only be used with machines on your local network, or where you have precise control over your own network and can manage quality of service and such.
