I am running a linux ping command as a child process using the node.js code 
below.

The ping command has to be continuous and normally displays the ping result 
every second when running in a console.
The last line of code simply pipes the output to the console as if the 
command had been issued on a console.

I need to parse the ping results as they come in in node.js.
*Possible Solution :* I think that this can possibly be done by creating a 
duplex stream, piping the "ping output" to the duplex stream and reading 
 on an "available" event.

I cannot get the above working! The first problem I run into is the lack of 
documentation on creating an instance for a duplex stream.

*var exec = require('child_process').exec,*
*    child;*

*child = exec('ping  192.168.1.82',*
*    function (error, stdout, stderr) {*
*        console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);*
*        console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);*
*        if (error !== null) {*
*            console.log('exec error: ' + error);*
*        }*
*    });*

*child.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);*
