portable, ping

1. Windows ping and Linux ping command?

2. Ping from cron not having same effect as ping from console

I'm running a RedHat Enterprise 2.1 server as a group development
platform.  We're having some network problems which are being worked
on, but right now I need a workaround.  The problem is that this
server drops off of the network a couple of times a day.  I've found
that if I just ping another server from that server it comes back on
the network, everybody can see it and everything is fine.

To keep the server on the network I set up a cron job to ping another
server every two minutes.  I can see this ping running every two
minutes with "ps -e | grep ping".  However, the machine still drops
off of the network.  When the server drops off of the network I wait
until I see the cron ping as above and then verify that it is still
off of the network.  So the cron ping doesn't get the machine back on
the network.  Then I do a ping from a console and the server comes
back on the network.

For some reason the cron ping doesn't have the same effect that a ping
from the console does.  The crontab ping entry is by the same user
that I am logged in as when I do the ping from the console.

Anyone have any suggestions?  Why does a ping from the console have a
different effect than a ping from cron.

4. Some services working but can't ping (not ping-able)

5. Strange network problems - pings to host are fine, pings from host fail

6. HP-UX "ping -i" vs. Linux "ping -I"

Hi,

I have a problem with a missing feature in HP-UX ping that is present in Linux
ping:

Option "-i address" for HP-UX ping sets the source address only if the
destination address is a braodcast address.

In Linux option "-I address" sets the source address unconditionally.

(Both systems require the requested source address to be configured on a local
interface)

What I need is the Linux feature for HP-UX. Does anybody have the C source
program that works for HP-UX. I have no idea how difficult it is to port the
Linux sources to HP-UX.

Thanks,
Ulrich

8. Cannot Ping, but can be pinged

In an old PC running SCO 5.0.4, I can not ping any node including
itself. But this machine can be pinged by others.

I don't know if this related or not. But after reboot, teh following
error appears:
"Fatal error - Failed to set key combination for toggling focus when in
inRoot mode.
Some otehr application has already grabbed key combination.
Check focusToggle resource."

Any one know how to check "focusToggle" resource?
Is this problem relate to not being able to ping?

Thanks.
