I remember i did this long time ago in Python by calling the command
line ping and screen-scraping the result. Ugly solution, but worked.
same here, but i’ve always trusted the os-level ping,
so something like,
irb(main):009:0> p=ping 10.2.10.4 -c 5
=> “PING 10.2.10.4 (10.2.10.4) 56(84) bytes of data.\n64 bytes from

Anything better over here?
'm not sure either. but if it is wriiten in ruby, it should look better
kind regards -botp
