From the man page of the linux ping: -I interface address Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device. When pinging IPv6 link-local address this option is required.
It seems the -I is supposed to accept either an IP address or a device name. I suggest to keep it compatible. Regards Ralf Friedl _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
