Sometimes I want ping to be quiet. Not quiet in the "only show me headers" way that the original author thought was cute, but in the "don't show me anything" way, so cron doesn't spam me with useless crap.So, in honor of that, here is a patch to add -Q to ping and ping6.
What is the advantage of another button over redirecting stdout and error to /dev/null? Is the completely quiet ping used so often?
