On Linux, when running with an unprivileged process, the kernel does not respect the assigned "id" field. So in that scenario we need to ask the kernel what assignment it has given us instead. Signed-off-by: Steven Noonan <steven@uplinklabs.net> |

fping
fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping, but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts. fping has a long long story: Roland Schemers did publish a first version of it in 1992 and it has established itself since then as a standard tool.
Current maintainer:
David Schweikert <david@schweikert.ch>
Website:
https://fping.org/
Mailing-list:
https://groups.google.com/group/fping-users
Installation
If you want to install fping from source, proceed as follows:
- Run
./autogen.sh
(only if you got the source from Github). - Run
./configure
with the correct arguments. (see:./configure --help
) - Run
make; make install
. - Make fping either setuid, or, if under Linux:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep fping
Usage
Have a look at the fping(8) manual page for usage help.
(fping -h
will also give a minimal help output.)
