Free ping 1.0 software for linux

postping project is a package that aggregates weblog trackback pings into a Movable Type weblog, to create a meta-blog of weblog entries. The package provides a CGI that can receive trackback pings, as well as a form for manual submission. Each trackback is encapsulated into a Movable Type blog entry, and then posted to the weblog.

This package was developed for an earlier version of the Austin Bloggers meta-blog. We are no longer using this package, but Im making it available for people who may find it useful. See this article for background information on this package.

You must have Python version 2.2 (or later) installed on your system. Some versions of Red Hat Linux, for instance, only install version 1.5, and you need to manually install the RPM for 2.2.

You must already have Movable Type (or a system that understands the MT RPCs) installed on the system where you want to present the Metablog.

pingx is utility that uses the XNoOp(3x) call to see how fast your connection to your X server. Wonder whether your X performance is slower in a SSH tunnel? pingx can give you hard numbers so you can find out. It has an option to print out some details about the X server as well. Its also useful to see if a X server is up so you can fire up x2x or similar applications intelligently.
pingx is really nice for seeing if a remote display is up (use the options "-q -c 1"). It even returns immediately instead of waiting a second like the ICMP ping utility does, in case youre the impatient type.
Why would you need to know if a remote display is up? Well, I need to know because I have three monitors and two of them are on a dual-head machine. Im not sure whether the dual-head machine is running xinerama http://sourceforge.net/projects/xinerama/) or not this week, so Im unsure whether my center monitor is :0.1 or :0.0. This is important because I use x2vnc to control a third monitor over to the left, and if I give a bad DISPLAY variable to x2vnc it doesnt work.
Clueful people will probably point out that I should make :0.0 my left monitor and put a "Screen 1 RightOf Screen0" statement in my XF86Config-4, but I thought that writing an X protocol-level ping utility might be a fun thing to do instead.
It compiles under FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and Linux ok. I got lazy and make different LDLIBS lines in the Makefile. Ill use autoconf/automake in the future, but just edit the Makefile for now.
Enhancements:
- initial release. Has count, verbose, and quiet flags. Needs to have statistics and a signal handler written. Needs to be autoconfed and automaked.

This is a program for enumerating ipx nodes on a network. It works by sending an ipx ping packet to all nodes on a network. In addition to printing the ipx network and node address it is able to: print the hexdump of the packet (-h option), try to identify the ipx stack on the node (-i option - please note that this is unreliable at best), and parse the diagnostic response (-p option) giving the ipx version, the spx diagnostic socket, a list of installed components, a list of interfaces in case of routers etc. By default the program uses all networks in /proc/net/ipx_route. If you want to limit the query to a single network use the -n option (like -n 12abc, -n 0 is always the local network).

These are the available options:
Avaliable options:
--help: help
-h : hexdump of the ping response
-i : try to identify the node (unreliable at best), you will get a
hexdump of the response if identification fails
-p : parse diagnostic message
-a : equivalent to -h -p -i
-n NET: ping only single net
-t sec: how much to wait for responses in seconds (default: 2)

pmping provides a parallel multiple host ping with audible results (beep on the PC speaker).
pmping is a script that pings multiple hosts in parallel and gives audible results depending on host state.
The sounds come from the internal PC speaker, thus not needing a sound card. It beeps when a host OS is losing many packets, or when it is down.
If the host is down, the script can send an email notification or run a command. All aspects are fully customisable by the user.
Main features:
- Logs notifications to standard output.
- Reloads config file on-the-fly.
- Ability to run a command when a host is down.
- Sends e-mail notifications when a host is down and when it comes up.
Enhancements:
- Corrected dynamic config reload (wasnt really working).
- Try to catch SMTP connection errors when sending notification e-mails.
- Changed the way we check network errors (regex was not working).

httping is a "ping"-like tool for HTTP requests. Give it a URL and it will show how long it takes to connect, send a request, and retrieve the reply (only the headers).
httping can be used for monitoring or statistical purposes (measuring latency).
Enhancements:
- A big memory leak in the SSL code was fixed.
- An audible ping mode was added.

pingmon is a small PING monitor, it just pings a server 5 times and displays the results.

Dont really know how usefull it will be to anyone, but here it is!

Change the .theme file to change the labels and the servers... ill try to do some sort of "click to change" thing later.

Web Ping is a program for testing your internet connection.

Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site. I created this application after my work moved locations and half our network stayed in the old building and the other half moved with us to the new location.

A flaky (significant point) VPN was set up to keep the two connected. Since a couple of the unmoved servers were of interest to me, I keeped checking to see if they were still accessable with the ping command before doing any serious work with them.

A quick and pathetic Google resulted in no other program that meet my needes, so I wrote one.

Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.

Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied.

A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.

Usage:

There are two ways to use Web Ping, GUI or CLI mode. The simplest of the two modes is CLI. Web Ping can be started in CLI mode by passing a url to the jar file in a command line interface like this: "java -jar WebPing.jar http://localhost". Web Ping will automaticly start getting statistics on the requested url, printing results to the screnn.

To quite, press q and then then ENTER key. CLI allows the user to Most people will probably want to use the GUI mode which has a history graph and allows the user to start and stop the session.

The best way to run Web Ping is in GUI mode. GUI mode allows the user start and stop the ping process at will and to change the site that is pinged. Users can also see more information about about the history of the pings and view max values and min values easily. There are three tabs on the top of the page, the first is the application, second is the history list, and the last give information about the application.
