PING/iX Utility

Using PING/iX From the Command Line

You can run PING/iX from the command line by using an INFO string.

The INFO string must contain the IP address of the remote node, and

optionally, the number of packets and number of bytes:

:RUN PING.NET.SYS;INFO=" ipaddress [,packets] [,bytes]"

Within the INFO string, commas are required to separate parameters.

The number of packets and bytes that can be sent are the same as using

the menu-driven option. The default number of packets is a continuous

stream, and the default number of bytes is 64.

Stopping PING/iX

You can enter [CTRL-Y] at any time to exit from PING/iX. If you send a

continuous stream of packets, you must enter

[CTRL-Y] to stop sending

packets. The program exits without displaying the menu.

Example

This example shows an INFO string containing the IP address, and

specifying ﬁve packets. The number of data bytes defaults to 64. The

statistics displayed by PING/iX are also included.

:run ping.net.sys;info=" 15.13.131.59,5"
