N/A status

[afreisinger]

Hi !
I don't understand what's going on. I get N/A status every time. The process is running. The output tail -f /tmp/tmux_ping_result is always -1 and what catches my attention is tail -f /tmp/tmux_ping.log always empty. I don't understand what could be happening. I am running tmux on Darwin system. Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm currently in the process of relocation, so I don't have enough time to analyze the problem. But hopefully, I'll have some time during the weekend.

Thank you. I'll tell you if I ping from the cli and write to the file, it works...@

Hey,

It's quite hard to tell why it doesn't work on your system, but if you have some time, we can try to debug the problem.

First, clone the repo and add some additional logging to the main function and probably to the execute_ping function. Something like that, just to understand where it fails:

if ping_not_running; then
    echo "ping is not running"
    ....

Also, just before the ping command you can add this:
echo "ping $number_pings_flag $ping_count $timeout_flag $ping_wait_time $ping_host > $ping_log_file &"

Then, run the script and see what happens: ./ping_status.sh
Try to run it multiple times.

Copy-paste the outputs here.

By the way, what value have you set for status-interval in tmux config?

tmux-ping/scripts on  master [!]
➜ ./ping_status.sh
ping is not running
ping -c 3 -t 10 8.8.8.8 > /tmp/tmux_ping.log &
#[fg=red]N/A

tmux-ping/scripts on  master [!]
➜ ./ping_status.sh
ping is not running
ping -c 3 -t 10 8.8.8.8 > /tmp/tmux_ping.log &
#[fg=green] 24

tmux-ping/scripts on  master [!]
➜ ./ping_status.sh
#[fg=green] 24

In this case the status bar change from N/A to round-trip time value, this work fine.

➜ tmux show-options -g | grep status-interval
status-interval 1
