A easy to use utility for node.js to send ping requests
##Installation
Make sure you have the latest node, coffee-script and npm installed. To run:
$ coffee app.coffee
For those coffee haters, I have compiled it to native javascript. To run:
$ node app.js
First include it to your application
var ping = require('./lib/ping');
You can then call the ping function by passing it two arguments:
ping( [hostname/ip], [callback] );
sys = require('util');
ping = require('./lib/ping');
ping('google.com', function(error, stdout, stderr) {
return sys.puts(stdout);
});
