I'd like to ping an ip address, but only see output when the address *doesn't* return a reply, and I'd also like to have the times a reply *isn't* returned timestamped. I just read ping(8) and I don't see a way to turn off the output of replies and only see packets that didn't get a reply, nor do I see a way to timestamp any of the output. I want to use this to tell me when my connection fails, even if I'm not sitting at the computer. If there is a better way, using another command, or anyone has any ideas in general, I'd very much appreciate your input. -- Allen Cleveland allenc@mindsieve.com There is no try.
