[ipxe-devel] Push request : Adapt Ping command for scripting

[cyr-ius]

hello,

I added two new options to the ping command to allow the execution of
the command from a script.

     the counter parameter indicates the number of response to show. If
no argument then control the infinite loop

    the quiet parameter to hide messages on the screen setting.

It is thus possible to script the ping command.
example:
        ping -c 1 -q 10.1.1.1 && echo echo || Link UP DOWN link


example :
	ping 1.1.1.1 (request infinite loop)
	ping -c 2 1.1.1.1 (request two ping echo)
	ping -c 2 -q 1.1.1.1 (no echo on display)


Is it possible to add these changes to the original code ?

Attachment patch file for GIT.

Bye
