Solaris Ping Results 17 February 2011
Posted by Maulvi Bakar in : Unix,Work , trackbackEver tried to ping a host on a Solaris machine?
$ ping pong
pong is alive
You’ll get a plain ‘is alive’ results. If you need packets received and timing information, you have to add the option -s like thus -
user@tennis:/usr/sbin > ping -s pong
PING pong: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=2. time=2. ms
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=3. time=0. ms
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=4. time=0. ms
64 bytes from pong (x.x.x.x): icmp_seq=5. time=0. ms
----pong PING Statistics----
6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 0/0/2
Funny Solaris trying not to conform with the rest of the *NIX community.
Enjoy!
