Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

[Grant P. <gp...@th...>]

I suppose the next time the server to be monitored goes down, I can try 
pinging it and sending you the output, but I hope it does not happen!

Here is the ping results from the server running the ping command to the 
server to be monitored, from the command line of course.

Yes, FreeBSD  5.4

defiant# ping -c 1 192.168.0.7
PING 192.168.0.7 (192.168.0.7): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.7: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.325 ms

--- 192.168.0.7 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.325/0.325/0.325/0.000 ms
