Any Ping is a light weight application to test the reach-ability of a host. Any Ping has many option to advanced ping.Fetaures:-1) No root access require.2) Ping by host name or host IP.3) Complete output as like terminal.4) Fast and easy to use.5) Host history saves automatically. 6) Ability to write option with host(eg: -c 5 host).7) Many options to execute with command.Options to ping:--c countStop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST packets. With deadlineoption, ping waits for count ECHO_REPLY packets, until the time-out expires.-i intervalWait interval seconds between sending each packet. The defaultis to wait for one second between each packet normally, or notto wait in flood mode. Only super-user may set interval to val-ues less 0.2 seconds.-I interfaceinterface is either an address, or an interface name. If inter-face is an address, it sets source address to specified inter-face address. If interface in an interface name, it sets sourceinterface to specified interface. For IPv6, when doing ping toa link-local scope address, link specification (by the %-nota-tion in destination, or by this option) is required.-l preloadIf preload is specified, ping sends that many packets not wait-ing for reply. Only the super-user may select preload more than3.-m markuse mark to tag the packets going out. This is useful for vari-ety of reasons within the kernel such as using policy routing toselect specific outbound processing.-M pmtudisc_optSelect Path MTU Discovery strategy. pmtudisc_option may beeither do (prohibit fragmentation, even local one), want (doPMTU discovery, fragment locally when packet size is large), ordont (do not set DF flag).-p patternYou may specify up to 16 ``pad bytes to fill out the packetyou send. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problemsin a network. For example, -p ff will cause the sent packet tobe filled with all ones.-Q tos Set Quality of Service -related bits in ICMP datagrams. tos canbe decimal (ping only) or hex number.In RFC2474, these fields are interpreted as 8-bit DifferentiatedServices (DS), consisting of: bits 0-1 (2 lowest bits) of sepa-rate data, and bits 2-7 (highest 6 bits) of Differentiated Ser-vices Codepoint (DSCP). In RFC2481 and RFC3168, bits 0-1 areused for ECN.Historically (RFC1349, obsoleted by RFC2474), these were inter-preted as: bit 0 (lowest bit) for reserved (currently beingredefined as congestion control), 1-4 for Type of Service andbits 5-7 (highest bits) for Precedence.-s packetsizeSpecifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is56, which translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined withthe 8 bytes of ICMP header data.-S sndbufSet socket sndbuf. If not specified, it is selected to buffernot more than one packet.-t ttl ping only. Set the IP Time to Live.-T timestamp optionSet special IP timestamp options. timestamp option may beeither tsonly (only timestamps), tsandaddr (timestamps andaddresses) or tsprespec host1 [host2 [host3 [host4]]] (timestampprespecified hops).-w deadlineSpecify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless ofhow many packets have been sent or received. In this case pingdoes not stop after count packet are sent, it waits either fordeadline expire or until count probes are answered or for someerror notification from network.-W timeoutTime to wait for a response, in seconds. The option affects onlytimeout in absence of any responses, otherwise ping waits fortwo RTTs.-hopsSpecify through which path the ping should send the packet to destination.
