simple bash ping monitor

Hey,

As I have a low end VPS idleing I think of using it as simple up/down notifier via bash and ping command. Just something really simple: I can set up a few hosts and I set up every 5 minutes a cronjob to execute the file. And if one servers up/down state changes I get an email notification. E.g. "host1 is DOWN since 07.10.2013 20:45 GMT +2" and when it's up again sth like: "host1 is UP again" and maybe something like: "it was down for 10 minutes"

Does anyone have a script like that for me? Or something similar?

Thanks in advance :)
