Windows Ping

[Guest]

I would like to measure latency under windows, but the current ping.pl is for unix. Anyone have a working ping.pl that support windows 2000? Also, what changes do I need to make on my graphs.

Thanks

If you have perl installed, you can try the following by adding the 4th line and modifying the 5th line.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

$ping = `ping -c 1 $ARGV[0] | grep icmp_seq`;
if ($ping == "") { $ping = `ping -n 1 $ARGV[0] | grep TTL`; }
$ping =~ m/(.*time.)(.*)(ms|usec)/;

print $2;

There's only one "problem" that has to do with the difference between the windows ping and the linux ping. Windows will only return time in ms. If something is less than 1 ms it displays it as "time<1ms" instead or using usec. Therefore anything that's less than 1 second away will always be 1.
