<p>Tomas,</p>
<p>Say, that is a very nice <font size="4"><tt>ping</tt></font>
utility you have! Would you know where I could get the source to
it or its theory of operation?<br>
</p>
<p>Tommy Timesharing systems (<font size="4"><tt>TOMMYT</tt></font>,
<font size="4"><tt>VENTI2</tt></font>, <font size="4"><tt>TERZO</tt></font>)
are Tops-20 machines running on the KLH10 micro-engine. They have
a number of monitor modifications plus a rewritten <font size="4"><tt>SETNODE</tt></font>
utility to support long term updates of the volatile data base.
"Long term" means updates in access of 39 weeks (6,636 hours).</p>
<p>Updates are accomplished by a weekly batch job. The node
database on <font size="4"><tt>MIM::</tt></font> is checked for
updates on a weekly basis. I check connectivity to <font size="4"><tt>MIM::</tt></font> by attempting a directory of the
appropriate files. If this works, then I proceed to <font size="4"><tt>NFT</tt></font> them. If not, then I send email.</p>

<p>It seems to me that doing a <font size="4"><tt>ping</tt></font>
might be a more valid initial connectivity test, the directory
attempt then being a test of <font size="4"><tt>FAL</tt></font>/<font size="4"><tt>DAP</tt></font> status.</p>
