[REBOL] `Pinging' my net ---
From: dness::home::com at: 24-Oct-2001 12:56
My home net has half a dozen machines and network-attached printers and storage all of
which
may be up or down at any particular point. I'd like to be able to detect which machines
are `up'
and write REBOL code that allows me to do various things---starting with status inquiries---to
the
machines that happen to be up.
My machines are all assigned permanent IP #'s, so I am happy to make a list of `possible
addresses'
that might be up. Indeed I have `command line' code that pings all of the machines and
reports back.
but, I'd like some REBOL code that would let me detect which machines are available at
any particular moment, to serve as a starting place for expansion into code that might
perform
various useful cross-net functions.
Where should I look to get started?
