I am not really sure what you want to achieve with the above fping
invocation.
It seems to me as if fping -u -r 1 10.10.5.90 10.10.5.1
already provides all the interesting information. So what purpose have the options -c 1 -q
? Do you attempt to get the following output (I am using two different IP addresses for illustration)?
$ fping -r1 -q -u -c1 8.8.8.7 8.8.8.8 2>&1 | grep -v ,
8.8.8.7 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 1/0/100%
Since the fping
command line specifies to send just one echo request, the statistics can be added with, e.g., sed
:
$ fping -r1 -u 8.8.8.7 8.8.8.8 | sed 's,$, : xmt/rcv/%loss = 1/0/100%,'
8.8.8.7 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 1/0/100%
It seems to me as if just -u -r N
already provides all the information the combination of -r 1 -c N -q -u
can give.
I am not really sure what you want to achieve with the above
fping
invocation.
I was just saying that by adding -c 1
(so just a count) it prints out the reachable targets and their stats, while with -q
it shouldn't.
The option -c N
prints one output line for every received reply or timeout, and one summary line per target at the end.
The combination -c N -q
only prints the summary line per target, but not the individual per-probe reports.
If you want the output format of -u
, i.e., just the Name or IP address of each unreachable target, but want fping
to try several times to reach each target, you can use -r N
optionally combined with -B 1
, instead of using -c N
. (By default, fping
uses -r 3
.)
This works for me:
However when I add
-c
it doesn'tBecause it also prints about reachable targets.
