- Summary
- fping is a ping-like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping is different from ping
in that you can specify any number of hosts on the command line, or specify a
file containing the lists of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until
it timeouts or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the
next host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed
from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain
time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered unreachable.
Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts and its output is easy
to parse.
