Reconsider the ping test

bdcribbs opened this issue · 1 comments

Currently the script attempts to ping a remote $host, and if unreachable it fails.

I haven't made a patch for this yet, but I suggest changing that to test the connection using a no-op ssh attempt.

Why? Because "ssh my-alias" is sufficient for dotsync to do it's job even though "ping my-alias" is guaranteed to always fail.

sure, ive changed it to an ssh check in develop and will merge it into master later
