xping 2.1
25-Jul-99

xping presents a list of computer systems with a graphic indication of
whether or not each system is alive (that is, responsive to ICMP ECHO_REQUEST
datagrams or ``pings'').  Each system in the list is checked automatically
with a period which can be controlled with command line arguments or X11
resources.

Users may request that the state of a system be checked immediately by
pressing a button.  Any button pressed will remain depressed until the state
of its system can be determined.  This is to indicate that the state is still
uncertain.  When the button is raised, the state is known.  Multiple buttons
can be depressed simultaneously.
