xv_ping
Copyright 1992 George V. Neville-Neil
XV_PING is program to continuously check to see if a set of hosts on
the net is up. It does this by periodically sending ICMP echo packets
to a set of hosts chosen by the user.
Building XV_PING:
First modify the Makefile to point to the correct include and library
directories. You should only have to change the following variables:
X11INCLUDE=
XVIEWINCLUDE=
X11LIB=
This program is written with the XView toolkit version 3, and will
require that you have installed this toolkit before building this
application. The toolkit is available for ftp from the export.ai.mit.edu.
All you need to do now is type "make all" and xv_ping should be built.
There is a man page, xv_ping.8, which explains how the program works.
Note: This program needs to be setuid root, or run by root
to work. You cannot set your machine into promiscuous mode
without begin root.
