Or use a TCP ping method. However, this requires your BackupPC server to either run a command as root or run a setuid root command: sudo hping3 -S -c 1 -p 22 host | grep 'flags=SA' hping3 treats ICMP-port-unreachable messages as answers, so you have to grep for "SYN ACK" flags in the returned packet.

Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the ... confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought." -- Edward R.
