Hi,
here is a JAVA for PING:
import java.net.*;
public class Ping {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");
System.out.println("Name: " + address.getHostName());
System.out.println("Addr: " + address.getHostAddress());
System.out.println("Reach: " + address.isReachable(3000));
catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Unable to lookup QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Unable to reach QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");
