[mrtg] Re: ANNOUNCE: mrtg-ping-probe Release_2_0_1

[Adam Augustine]

I think I found a bug in mrtg-ping-probe. If trying to ping a device that is
completely down (under Linux), I get this:

[adama at zoop mrtg-ping-probe-2.0.1]$ perl ./mrtg-ping-probe -p avg/loss
kando.kpp.com
mrtg-ping-probe: ERROR: Could not find ping summary for kando.kpp.com
mrtg-ping-probe: INFO: The output of the ping command /bin/ping -c 10 -s 56
kando.kpp.com was:
PING kando.kpp.com (10..6.1): 56 data bytes

--- kando.kpp.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

0
100

Whereas an up device looks like:
[adama at zoop mrtg-ping-probe-2.0.1]$ perl ./mrtg-ping-probe -p avg/loss
10.1.10.2
1
0
[adama at zoop mrtg-ping-probe-2.0.1]$

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thanks,
	Adam

Release 2.0.1 of mrtg-ping-probe is now available at the usual place:
 	ftp://ftp.pwo.de/pub/pwo/mrtg/mrtg-ping-probe/


mrtg-ping-probe is a ping probe for MRTG.  It is used to monitor the
round trip time and packet loss to networked devices.  MRTG uses its
output to generate graphs visualizing minimum and maximum round trip
times or packet loss.


Major changes compared to the last release (Release_2_0_0 2001-01-06):

	* bugfix: almost all platforms but Solaris were broken, fixed
	regular expressions to find round trip time and packet loss.

	* bugfix: test for existence of perl builtin alarm().  Perl on
	Windows usually does not have it, and thus we cannot timeout the
	perl command.
