SmarterPing is a utility that pings a web application to prevent the application from timing out. It was originally created for SmarterTicket which would get unloaded by IIS after a period of inactivity preventing it from performing routine background tasks. SmarterPing runs as a Windows service and includes a configuration utility. It can be downloaded here:

We removed any 3rd party and SmarterTools dll references from the source code version which caused some UI differences from the non-source code version but the functionality is the same.
The code was written in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. and the .Net 2.0 framework and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
