Description: A scriptable ping program to check if multiple hosts are up
Long Description: fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered unreachable.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/fping
%  sudo port install fping  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching fping
--->  Verifying checksum for fping
--->  Extracting fping
--->  Configuring fping
--->  Building fping with target all

--->  Staging fping into destroot

--->  Installing fping

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using fping with these commands:

%  man fping
%  apropos fping
%  which fping
%  locate fping
