sping sends ICMP ECHO requests to network hosts to determine whether they are 'alive'. It is a small and hopefully secure implementation of the common ping utility that offers far less control over the packet options that may be specified (packet size, delay between packets, etc.) - this is a feature, for both security and bandwidth reasons. sping has been tested on Linux 2.4.0-test8 but should work on other operating systems.
