Linux extended ping

[alexislalas]

Hello,

What is the command for an extended ping in Linux? I've Googled it but can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Well, try "man ping" ;-) or, "ping /?".

And, what do you mean, "extended ping"? Many systems use "ping -c $x", or "ping -n $x" to assign a number of packets to send.
