Net_Ping already uses the OS_Guess class, the best way for detecting the OS ;). AFAIS Net_Ping uses the right params for freebsd: /** * Creates the argument list according to platform differences * * @return string Argument line * @access private */ function _initArgRelation() "freebsd" => array ( "timeout" => "-t", "ttl" => "-m", "count" => "-c", "quiet" => "-q", "size" => NULL, "iface" => NULL ), perhaps the problem is an old release or an invalid arguments handling. -- Tomas V.V.Cox mailto:cox@idecnet.com
