make it optional - plenty of hosts out there have routes where various service provides will block icmp
def ping(self):
return 1
it asks the client to 'return 1'
if it cannot connect or return 1 - no other command will matter.
You could run "nc" to test for a specific service? .. We doe this on our ssh-spray host because of one firewall(nat'd) will respond even though the host is not reachable and other groups block icmp. Our answer to that is to use nc with a 5 second timeout to make sure ssh is open and then move on if the host is not reachable. You could probably ping first followed by a nc command to see if the host is "really, really" reachable.
Just a thought.... I am mostly a lurker on the list hoping to find some extra cycles to give func a go at work someday.
