I did a search and couldn't find (I'm sure its here somewhere) a list of switches for ping running off of a linux box. I had heard sometime back that some of the switches were different and I'm new to the linux part.

What I want to do is from my linux box using straight cmd line or nmap, is ping my server. I don't care about packet size but want it to ping without waiting for a reply and non-stop. This in conjunction with another bandwidth test, I'm determining the performace of the server under various types of loads.

Examples would be appreciated. ie ping -w 192.168.1.1 or nmap -p 192.168.1.1
Thanks, Dan O.

$man ping

$ping -f 127.xxx.xx.xx

pings until ^C and pings 100 times a second or as fast as the pings are replied to. Which ever is more often.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
