The Ping Hosts Service

FOG 1.5’s ping host service is a TCP-only reachability check, not a real ICMP ping, and it has no configurable port or timeout. 1.6 changes what is actually sent and what the Last Ping and Last Check-In fields mean.

• The Ping Hosts Service (1.6)
• The Ping Hosts Service (1.5)
