TCP/IP Services and PING?

» close window

The Question is:

 
On UCX 4.2 when I Used the PING command I received a short answer from TCP
 (%UCX-I-LOOPACT, 200.23.215.126 is alive) I use this command in batch process
 to validate.
 
Now in TCPIP V5 the PING command send me a long answer and do not stop until I
 press Ctrl-c, how can I obtain a short answer in Version 5 like in version 4?

The Answer is :

 
  Please make sure you use TCP/IP Services V5.0A.
 
  The /NUMBER_PACKETS qualifier controls how many packets are sent before
  the PING command terminates:
 
	$ TCPIP PING 200.23.215.126 /NUMBER_PACKETS=1
	PING 200.23.215.126 (200.23.215.126): 56 data bytes
	64 bytes from 200.23.215.126: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0 ms
 
 
	----200.23.215.126 PING Statistics----
	1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
	round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
 
  In batch mode use $STATUS after the command has completed to determine if
  the node is reachable. For example:
 
	$ TCPIP PING 200.23.215.126 /NUMBER_PACKETS=1
	PING 200.23.215.126 (200.23.215.126): 56 data bytes
 
 
	----200.23.215.126 PING Statistics----
	1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
	%SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
	$ show sym %status
	  $STATUS == "%X1000022C"
