PACKAGE NAME: fping-2.4b2-i486-1kan.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./Console/fping PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 23 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 70 K PACKAGE REQUIRED: glibc-solibs PACKAGE SUGGESTS: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: fping: fping 2.4b2 (quickly ping N number of hosts) fping: fping: fping is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control fping: Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping: fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of fping: hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of fping: hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or fping: replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next fping: host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and fping: removed from the list of hosts to check. fping: My other Slackware packages: http://kaneda.bohater.net/slackware
