fping is much more efficient because you can give it a long list of
hosts which will then be checked 'in parallel'. That means that instead
of pinging each host separately, and having to wait for a reply from the
first host before you continue with the next one, fping just sends icmp
echo requests to all hosts first, and then just waits for the replies to
 arrive, in whatever order it may be...

you can find more information on the fping site:  http://www.fping.com/

Tom

AW: problem in installing fping

2005-06-22 Thread Grames Gernot
Hi,

I had the same problem and I found no solution. But I used the normal 
ping.monitor instead of the fping.monitor.
I have found no advantage of the fping.monitor!

Bye
Gernot

Hello,

 I have found no advantage of the fping.monitor!

The advantage comes when monitoring thousands hosts.
