How to ping a host ip?

[Trieu Tran Quoc]

Hi all,

Is there any way to ping a host?

Thanks.

Hello,

You could use Sys.command() or sys.io.Process to call the ping utility like you would from the command line.

The Process API in particular is a good choice if you want to interact with the process as it gives you an input, output, and error handle to communicate through.

You can find two examples here.

I hope that helps!
