I'm a noob when it comes to Xterminal. What do you type in to do this? :confused:

For ping? Unfortunately you need to be root to do this, so you'll have to first install rootsh from App Manager. You can then run:
Code:

sudo gainroot
ping server.name

Thanks for the tip!


EDIT: Vine server works like a charm. Now I'll just need to experiment to see how happily it will coexist with Apple Remote Desktop. Thanks again

Thanks! I have rootsh because I did the Irecco remote app.
