# Ping a range of IP addresses, and list sorted by ping time.
#
# This uses the ICMP echo method instead of UDP echo, as
# some routers don't pass UDP echo.  Also, if the remote host
# doesn't have an appropriate service listening on the UDP
# echo port, it won't answer.

This script will ping scan a range if IP addresses, and return
a list sorted by ping time.  Give address in CIDR format.

   Usage:    $progname {IP/NETMASK}
   Example:  $progname 1.2.3.4/24

You *could* put in only a single IP address, but there wouldn't
be much point to that, now would there? :-)
