[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A program to ping hosts in parallel [T] fping is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control [T] Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. [T] fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of [T] hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of [T] hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or [T] replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next [T] host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and [T] removed from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond [T] within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered [T] unreachable.
