Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-04 21:50:17] ohill@php.net This seems to be a problem with the ping utility that comes with FreeBSD. This ping requires a different set of arguments. The -w option is replaced by a -t one for defining a "timeout" to wait. As for the permissions, FreeBSD seems to prohibit a custom packet size from normal users. A quick fix would be to replace this line: $cmd = $this->ping_path." $q -c $counts -s $packet_size -w $maxwait $host"; With this one in the package: $cmd = $this->ping_path." $q -c $counts -t $maxwait $host"; Note that this will work only while using FreeBSD!
