Small script to scan my home network

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'ping'

# On crée un tableau avec la liste des addresses a pinger
HOSTS = %w( 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.7 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.9 )
TIME_OK=1
machine_on=0

# On va scanner toutes les addresses dans le tableau HOSTS
for i in HOSTS do
 # Vérifier si l'adresse répond
 if Ping.pingecho(i, TIME_OK)
  print "#{i} est vivant\n"
  machine_on=machine_on+1
 else
  print "#{i} est mort\n"
 end
end


# Dire combien de machine sur le réseau sont en fonction
puts "=================="
print machine_on, " sont en fonction\n"

This will ping every machine in the array HOSTS and if they reply within one second, my program says they are alive.

1. Is there any particular reason that your variable names are all english, but your comments are all french? Je deteste le French

2. Wouldn't it just be easier to use nmap? ;D

1. Comments are for me. But people can understand my variables
2. Bah, doing it something yourself is a lot of fun

That's an interesting thought process you have: You need comments to help yourself (the person that coded it), but everybody else will just be able to figure it out by the variable names.

Please, don't code any big projects with this thinking in mind... at least, nothing I'd want to work on

I know, I'm just bugging you. ;D

Hey! Ma ben faire ce que je veux! And if people want to look at my source they need to do what I've been doing every day of my life for the 6 past years: french and english.

Uh, well that's not very open-source-like, if you ask me. Anybody who hacks on software you've written will have to read french and english. What kind of restriction is that?? It certainly wouldn't qualify as open source

Quit being prejudiced. French is cool. It's not like he commented it in Canadian English or anything. That would be annoying, eh?

I'm just having fun, I'm not prejudiced.

No.

Yeah; Canadian English is so hard to read, what with all those correctly-spelled words like colour, labour, and neighbour, eh?

[kenshi]

Well all those extra -our words, it looks like you tried to copy French.
