add bell output on successful pings the rationale here is that it's actually pretty hard to do this with a regular ping. you need a silly shell loop and it doesn't always work right everywhere, because the output of the system ping is platform-dependant. it also buffers stdout in some weird ways sometimes. therefore, i think it's a great addition to oping. the purpose of this is that it can be useful to "hear" ping packets come back when doing network diagnostics. obviously, this will be useless in finding out *failed* hosts if multiple hosts are selected, as any sucessful host will produce a beep. but it can nevertheless be used to trace network cables or problems without looking at the console. i also use audible pings to let me know when a hosts returns after a reboot. Note that I had to struggle quite a bit to make my terminal bell work, the following articles were used to generate documentation on how to make that work reliably: https://askubuntu.com/questions/228096/terminal-bell-doesnt-ring also see the following for the original inspiration for this: http://catb.org/jargon/html/P/ping.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.sys.next/JDaeD8oqarU/v8xaDS8kXM0J Conflicts: src/oping.c |
