How to enable Ping utility to show Request Tieout's?

[woomera]

hello everyone, this is my first post in this forum.

ive been searching on google for hours now to see how i can see the Timeout packets right between the lines when im pinging rather than seeing a summery in the end on how many packets have been lost since i need to have the terminal open and monitor the ping's for several hours.
i'd really appreciate any help/advice given.

thanks

Try -v. On Unix hosts, it is normal for it not to show "Request timed out" like Windows does. Instead, you'll usually get "Destination Host Unreachable".

i tried "Ping -v ip" but still the same, it didnt work.

 

[belvdr]

Did it show any other messages?

 

[woomera]

the result to "ping ip" and "ping -v ip" were exactly the same.

 

[calderone]

man ping

 

[woomera]

man ping

according to the manual the -v mode should print any other responses other than ECHO_REPLY though it doesnt here. could this be a bug or im doing something wrong?

How long did you let the ping run? It needs to run for a few seconds before anything is output.

Can you post a screenshot of your output?

Never seen a way to do what you're asking. If it misses multiple pings, you'll see destination host unreachable. I have a feeling you're using ping for some sort of solution, and it's not the right tool for the job.
