What's "ping"?
After a long dry spell I've managed to get back to r.p.d.b, and am wondering

Nat If 'technical' means 'computer' then why it seems so? ping Command Purpose Sends an echo request to a network host. Description The /usr/sbin/ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ECHO_REQUEST to obtain an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. The ping command is useful for: Stripping techical terms 'ping' sends request to obtain response. Nick(Chicha). |
