I wrote a filter plugin that executes ping via popen and returns the
output, but it provides no more functionality or simplicity than
running ping from a set fields

ret = pclose(fp);
log_fine (pclose errno: %i: %s, errno, strerror(errno));
outValues-valueList[0].u.intVal = ret;

Log output:

Either way, there was no getting around it. It's a de facto standard that
a child process inherits the same level of permissions - and the profile -
of whatever the parent process is. Without that behavior on the platform,
we would really have issues.
Axton made an excellent catch and I am
popen looks to be available on all platforms (posix compliant and
windows). Windows defines the function as _popen though.

The only trick with this approach is knowing how to parse the output
from all the supported platforms/versions to return the up/down
indicator. If we simply want to return the output from ping, this is
a rather simple way to meet that goal. What does the OP want to see
the plugin return?

Yep, I started writing something in c, but seeing these things would
make it useless in most environments (gov, edu, mil, financial, etc.).
Wrapping the existing suid ping program in a shell script would
suffice, but a plugin would be easier to use/port/maintain.
Loving the impossible odds too
Why not circumvent the entire issue, and use popen and the existing ping
binary? It's in stdio.h.
That would eliminate the need for a shell script wrapper, allow for the
development of a plugin within C, and make use of the existing ping binary
which has already been designed to do the job
Has anyone seen or developed a way to ping an ip in a form and populate
a Up/Down field ?

OK...what about this:
Create a field and hide it.
Put a button on the form that kicks off the ping workflow.
The ping workflow does a set fields action against the hidden field. Do
a RUN PROCESS in the set fields action. By doing a RUN PROCESS in the
set fields, the output of the ping (or any
For portability reasons, you may want to count on the ping command
returning a 0 for success and 1 for failure. On Windows and every *nix
