Xymon seems like a LOT of overhead for a simple ping test.

What about something like bash?

while true; do
  until ping -c1 -W2 192.168.1.1 &>/dev/null; do
    sleep 3
  done

echo "ping success"

Thanks for the prompt reply guys, really appreciate that.
The reason why I want to modify Xymon is because I'm working on a small
class project
which only need a simple networking-related function (in my case: ping)
with minimal size of code.

I understand Xymon is powerful and runs fast in most of cases, but the
best case is to make
some minor changes based on Xymon simply because I can't just take Xymon
and turn it in as my project.

My optimal goal is: to use minimal amount of code to perform a ping test,
but keep the framework and
style of Xymon. (Now I'm reading Xymonping.c file under /xymonnet folder)

Anyone has idea about how I can achieve this goal? Any opinion will be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!
