A user at our site has complained that he when he tries to create a

respond (i.e. the node has a firewall), the PING never times out and the
script hangs. From the command line, PING will timeout. Would anyone
have any insight into this problem, and have a solution? Thanks. - Mark
What operating system?
Sorry, REDHAT.
and look for "number of packets to send". On a *Doze box, it's -n. On some
*Nix boxes, it's -c.
It doesn't matter what he tries. He's grabbed lots of different scripts
off the web, some very elaborate, that do pings, and they all hang when
he hits a node that is on the network, but doesn't respond to the ping.
He suspects that the traps to do the timeout are being disabled by apache.
