Also adopted from Net_Ping and I believed that Net_Ping was generally agreed upon. Well if factory doesn't directly throw an error I'd need to use a variable for storing if a traceroute-prog was found, right? Or should I change the

            return PEAR::throwError(NET_TRACEROUTE_CANT_LOCATE_TRACEROUTE_BINARY_MSG, NET_TRACEROUTE_CANT_LOCATE_TRACEROUTE_BINARY);

into an: $this->_traceroute_path=''; return NULL; This way you wouldn't return an error but could optionally throw an error. Is that a good solution? Well, I'm currently a bit in doubt about the error-handling-things mentioned above.

Hi Stefan, Another alternative is to use raiseError(), and pass in PEAR_ERROR_TRIGGER as the error mode, and the error level (E_USER_ERROR/E_USER_WARNING) as the options parameter. Then you can still use PEAR errors and achieve both options. Greg
