I need to ping a hostname using cold fusion and tell me if it's online or not. Is this somehow possible?<br>
 
If you are using CF4.5 then you can use the CFEXECUTE tag to perform PING.<br>Otherwise there are a number of custom CFX tags that you can use on CF4.0, such as CFX_consolecommand that will allow you to run command prompts commands and return the results.<br><br>Goto the allaire tag gallery to find them.<br><br> <p>Russ Michaels<br><a href=mailto:russ@satachi.com>russ@satachi.com</a><br><a href= Internet Development</a><br>For my personal book recommendations visit <br>
