Allow intervals longer than 255 milliseconds

threadlock opened this issue · 4 comments

It would really be nice if I could specify intervals longer than 255 milliseconds. I'm trying to log intermittent latency spikes from my ISP and I only need a ping every 5-10 seconds or so.

Have you tried using the interval option (--interval or -in)? That lets you specify the amount of milliseconds between pings and there is no upper limit so sounds like what you are looking for?

Yes, that's what I tried at first. When I try to set the interval to 10000 I get this error message:

Bad value for option -in, valid range is from 1 to 255.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I thought I was using PowerPing but I was actually using the built-in ping. Your app is working as expected. Thank you for this very useful utility.

No problem :) glad I could help
