ping is normally part of termux-tools (which just executes /system/bin/ping). Is that package installed?

[5chdn]

Yes termux-tools seems to be installed. It looks like a lot is broken here. Should I try reinstalling all termux apps?

[Neo-Oli]

Does $PREFIX/bin/ping exist?
If you launch sh so no user configuration is made can you then use ping?
Can you do /system/bin/ping localhost?

[5chdn]

/system/bin/ping localhost works. cool.

$PREFIX/bin/ping does not exist.

However, $PREFIX/bin/ping6 does exist.

from sh I can't using ping either.

I think you need to update termux-tools. Prior to Termux version 0.31 /system/bin/ was in the $PATH variable. It has then be removed and important system tools like ping have been added to termux-tools (as a short script, which just launches /system/bin/ping). Can you try apt update && apt upgrade once #73 has been resolved for you?

The ping6 tool has been removed from inetutils (since it requires root/setuid) and has been added to termux-tools as a shortcut to the system one (as already done for ping).

#74 also fixed this issue. thanks again for this awesome terminal app.
