From: Alexandre Bergel Sent: January 22, 2004 How can I ping a host within Squeak?
On my xterm I can: “ping moore.unibe.ch”
But under Squeak when I perform the following within a Transcript:
Socket ping: 'moore.unibe.ch'
into a fresh 5657 I get a popup saying: 'Continue to wait for connection to moore.unibe.ch'
Any idea how I can ping an host within Squeak?

Socket class>>ping: is not the same as "ping" (which uses ICMP), read the method comment.

We don't do ICMP in Squeak. ICMP is what's used by ping (8). However, you could run ping using OSProcess.
