BulkPing

Mass Pinging GUI Utility

Getting Started

1. Download the latest Release jar
2. Place it into the folder of your choice
3. Create a IPAddresses.txt file in the same directory as the release jar file
   1. An example of one can be found here
4. Run the program by executing java -jar BulkPing.jar
   1. Alternatively create a run.batch or run.sh file containing the command to simplify the process
   2. Ensure a pause command is at the end of the file to prevent the program from closing immediately after running

Usage

• The program will immediately start to ping the addresses in a rolling manner from the IPAddresses.txt file
  • To change which file it is reading the IPs to ping, select File -> Open Config from the menu bar, and then select the file to use
  • When the config changes, it will take a pinging cycle to update on the screen, so hold tight.
  • Alternatively - permanently change what IPs it will ping by updating the IPAddresses.txt file with the preferred IP addresses
• If the program was launched from the command line, there is a readout of the IPs when they were pinged and if they were available
• If an IP is not yet pinged it will be a default white color
• If an IP is unreachable, it will be a red-orange color
• If an IP is reachable, it will be a green color
