I can't think of any other ping utility and I don't think fping works on
Windows.

But it is really quite easy to make perl parse the output of a ping
command. This little script will ping a machine and log the response time. 

#!perl

$ip = "10.1.1.1";

# Start the ping command to send a single ping
open (PING,"ping -n 1 $ip |") or die "Can't ping : $!";

# Read the output from the command
while(<PING>) {

 # Look for a line like:
 # Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=151ms TTL=244

  next unless /time=(\d+)ms/i;
  
  # The time is now in the $1 variable so use it to update the rrd
  `rrdtool update $ip.rrd N:$1`;

  # exit the loop
  last;
}


Good luck with it!

Mike
