IcePing [Utilities, C++, Linux, Windows, QNX] An equivalent to Unix ping for Orca components and Ice infrastructure. More... Checks if an Orca interface is reachable by trying to invoke ice_ping method available for all Ice objects. Provides none Requires none Usage is kept similar to ping. Ping tries to reach a destination specified by a hostname or an IP address. Iceping tries to reach a destination specified by the stringified proxy to an object. This utility is self-documenting. $ iceping --help Dependancies none We intentionally do not use libOrcaIce so that when one component cannot connect to another iceping can be considered a somewhat independent test of reachability. Configuration Only one configuration option is required: how to find the IceGrid Registry. By default, iceping tries to load ~/.orcarc file which typically contains this information. Optionally, a dedicated file can be written. Create a file and name it iceping.cfg Ice.Default.Locator=IceGrid/Locator: default -p 12000 Run iceping utility with the custom config file: $ iceping -r -f iceping.cfg Authors Alex Makarenko
