ptping is yet another try to integrate the ping command
into Java. It uses the process API to execute the command and wrap the response
in an object, essentially a wrapper around the ping command. ptping can be
used both on Windows and on Unix environments.
Here’s the code.
You can get the complete output as a String as if running the command from the command line.
PingResult pingResult = PingCommandRunner.executePing("google.com");
System.out.println(pingResult.getCompleteOutput());
// Output:
// Pinging google.com [172.217.16.110] with 32 bytes of data:
// Reply from 172.217.16.110: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=57
// Reply from 172.217.16.110: bytes=32 time=14ms TTL=57
// Reply from 172.217.16.110: bytes=32 time=24ms TTL=57
// Reply from 172.217.16.110: bytes=32 time=11ms TTL=57
// Reply from 172.217.16.110: bytes=32 time=13ms TTL=57
// Ping statistics for 172.217.16.110:
// Packets: Sent = 5, Received = 5, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
// Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
// Minimum = 11ms, Maximum = 24ms, Average = 15ms
And you can query for each segment of the response.
System.out.println(pingResult.isSuccessful());
// true
System.out.println(pingResult.getPingTarget());
// google.com
System.out.println(pingResult.getTargetIp());
// 172.217.18.78
System.out.println(pingResult.getPingBytes());
// 32
System.out.println(pingResult.getSentPackagesCount());
// 5
System.out.println(pingResult.getReceivedPackagesCount());
// 5
System.out.println(pingResult.getLostPackagesCount());
// 0
System.out.println(pingResult.getLostPackagesPercentage());
// 0.0
System.out.println(pingResult.getRoundTripMinimumTime());
// 11.0
System.out.println(pingResult.getRoundTripMaximumTime());
// 24.0
System.out.println(pingResult.getRoundTripAverageTime());
// 15.0
You can also query each ping attempt line.
pingResult.getAttemptLines().forEach(attemptLine ->
System.out.println(attemptLine.getTime()));
// 14.0
// 14.0
// 24.0
// 11.0
// 13.0
pinging multiple targets at the same time is also possible.
List<PingResult> pingResults = PingCommandRunner
.executePingToTargets("yahoo.com", "google.com");
PingResult objects are in the same order as target arguments.
