Yes, indeed. Undesirable featurism, actually.

This would make it harder to write scripts that process the
output in mixed formats.

Oh yeah. Sorry. I totally overlooked. Its just the format that changes
(dynamically to usec when it falls below 1 ms) in the linux version.

   FreeBSD's ping has had microsecond resolution since version 1.

ping with usec resolution

2002-03-11 Thread Christoph Kukulies

I'm looking for a ping with usec (microsecond) resolution
(as Redhat 7.2 is using). Could FreeBSD have it too? Anyone
got the source for it? 

We want to build up a small experiment for students
to measure the speed of light using ping.

Found this neat story on the net btw.
