SYNOPSIS

use Egg qw/ Net::Ping /;

__PACKAGE__->egg_startup(
  ...
  .....
  plugin_net_ping => {
    protcol => 'tcp',
    timeout => 3,
    retry   => 1,
    wait    => 0.5,
    },
  );

if ( $e->ping('192.168.1.1') ) {
  print " Ping was answered. !! ";
} else {
  print " There is no answer to Ping. ";
}

DESCRIPTION

It is a plug-in to investigate while arbitrary PC is operating by Net::Ping.

CONFIGURATION

Please set 'plugin_net_ping'.

protcol

They are the protocols such as tcp and udp.

Default is 'tcp'.

* I do not think that it operates well perhaps excluding tcp.

timeout

Time to wait for answer of ping.

Default is '3'.

retry

Frequency in which ping is done.

wait

Waiting time to doing next retry.

Default is '0.5'.

self_addr

Own host address.

METHODS

ping ( [TARGET_HOST], [ARGS_HASH] )

Ping is sent to TARGET_HOST, and the succeeding frequency is returned.

ARGS_HASH overwrites initialization.

* When retry is set to five times or more, five is compulsorily set.

$e->ping('192.168.1.111', retry => 5 );
