Pinging a machine that is beyond the router should be a strong indication that the router is still functioning. ;) If you want to specifically ping it then lft may do the job, set it to a minimum ttl that matches the router. It doesn't seem possible to specify a maximum count however. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
