I'm on Windows and Pinger says it needs node-waf which Windows dpes not have :(

Any other options or a workaround for this?

Even if pinger had node-gyp support, pinger would not work. I am not aware of any existing libraries that do this on windows, so you'll probably have to write your own bindings (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366045%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).

Bert and Shawn,

Thanks so much for the answers and creating something custom seems to be over my talents for now.

If anyone has a ready-to-use solution, I'll be glad to hear it.

Thanks.
