Alternatively, you can get the package using:

go get github.com/csubbdev/pingpro

Adding PingPro to your system PATH

Windows 11

1. Build the executable as shown above.

2. Move the pingpro.exe file to a directory of your choice, for example: C:\Tools\pingpro\

3. Add this directory to your system PATH environment variable:

   • Open the Start menu and search for "Environment Variables".
   • Click "Edit the system environment variables".
   • In the System Properties window, click "Environment Variables".
   • Under "System variables", find and select the "Path" variable, then click "Edit".
   • Click "New" and add the path to the directory where you placed pingpro.exe (e.g., C:\Tools\pingpro\).
   • Click OK on all dialogs to apply the changes.

4. Open a new Command Prompt window and type pingpro to run the tool from anywhere.

Linux

1. Build the executable:

go build -o pingpro main.go

2. Move the pingpro binary to a directory in your PATH, for example:

sudo mv pingpro /usr/local/bin/

3. Make sure it's executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pingpro

4. Now you can use pingpro from any terminal.

Building for Multiple Platforms

To build pingpro for multiple operating systems and architectures, install gox:

go install github.com/mitchellh/gox@latest

Then run:

gox -os="windows linux" -arch="amd64" -output="build/{{.OS}}_{{.Arch}}/pingpro"

This will create builds for Windows and Linux in the build/ directory.

Usage

pingpro <host> <port> [flags]

Flags

• -t, --type : Ping type to use. Options are tcp, udp, or icmp. Default is tcp.
• -o, --timeout : Timeout per ping in seconds. Default is 3 seconds.
• -i, --interval : Interval between pings in milliseconds. Default is 1000 ms.

Example

Ping a host using TCP on port 80 with default settings:

pingpro example.com 80

Ping a host using UDP on port 53 with a 5-second timeout output:

pingpro example.com 53 -t udp -o 5
