Multip ping for ranges #114
Description
Originally posted by @dark-spark in #113 (comment)
If I could add a request from a user point of view, multi ping is fantastic, but a common use case for me is pinging a series of ip addresses, if we could implement a way to ping an address and the following x amount of addresses I'd love that. For example 192.168.1.100 -n 5 would ping.100-.014

Please don't hijack other PRs for new requests on a different feature, we'll end up with big chaos if everyone does this 😉
For your use case I wonder if that could be done without any code on our side at all. Bash has this built in feature that expands ranges like
foo{0..3}tofoo0 foo1 foo2 foo3iirc that should already work with the PR we have, could you try that?dark-spark commentedon Nov 24, 2024
Sorry about that. I will have a play with that and see how I go.

This sounds like an feature to look at after this thing is merged: #109
BTW @dreua i am waiting for an review there 😉
I don't think so. My MR requires you to write
-hin front of every extra host. I guess we would need to adjust it in a way to accept any extra arguments as ping host. To work with bash brace expansion. But i guess it would be easy to write a little bash function to expand it correctly. Writing a ip net in CIDR notation like192.168.1.0/28would also be an interessting form.
