fping: fping (a program to ping hosts in parallel) fping: fping is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control fping: Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping: fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of fping: hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists fping: of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or fping: replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next fping: host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and fping: removed from the list of hosts to check. fping: fping: fping home: http://www.fping.com/
