aperçu

Résumé du paquet

Scriptable ping program for checking if multiple hosts are up

historique

Historique du projet et usages

fping is a scriptable ICMP echo tool for checking many hosts. Its man page describes it as ping-like, but designed to send probes to multiple targets in round-robin fashion and to produce parseable output for scripts.

Historique du projet

The official homepage says Roland Schemers published the first version in 1992. It also records a long maintenance gap: no official release appeared from 2002 until the end of 2011, after which David Schweikert took over maintainership and called the new line version 3.

Version 3 incorporated Debian patches, Tobias Oetiker's SmokePing modifications, and a rewritten main loop intended to improve performance. The current official site points users to release source distributions and the GitHub repository for latest sources.

Historique d'adoption

The official homepage says fping has established itself as a standard tool for network diagnostics and statistics. It also names Debian, Gentoo, and Archlinux as examples of distributions providing fping packages.

Its adoption has been helped by the difference from traditional ping: administrators can feed it many hosts, generated ranges, or files, and use its output in monitoring scripts.

Modes d'utilisation

fping sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to targets, moves on rather than waiting on one host, removes hosts from the active list when they reply, and marks hosts unreachable after timeout or retry limits.

Common package-manager users care about options such as alive/unreachable filtering, count mode, looping, generated address ranges, per-target statistics, timestamped output, and machine-friendly output for monitoring systems.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

fping is package-nerd significant because it is one of the classic small C networking utilities whose behavior is different enough from the base-system ping to justify a separate package everywhere.

It is also historically interesting because downstream patches and monitoring-tool modifications accumulated during an upstream lull, then were folded into a revived upstream line in version 3.

Chronologie

  • 1992: Roland Schemers published the first version.
  • 2002-2011: No official upstream fping release.
  • 2011: New maintainership began and version 3 marked the handoff.
  • 2020: fping 5.0 released with incompatible output-size and loop/count behavior changes.
  • 2025: fping 5.5 released with JSON output and IPv6 address generation support.

Related projects

  • ping is the baseline tool fping intentionally differs from.
  • SmokePing is explicitly mentioned in the version 3 announcement because Tobias Oetiker's modifications were incorporated.
  • Netdata is related through fping output support documented in the man page and changelog.
