Everyone can use ping. A user always (with appropriate permissions) can execute binaries with specifying the
absolute path, even if the binary is not in his PATH. e.g /usr/sbin/ping, except for when he's jailed in a restricted shell.
Then he would get something like
bash: /usr/sbin/ping: restricted: cannot specify `/' in command names
Besides that, special privileges can be given to users with "sudo", but in case of ping, thats not necessary.

NAME
Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping - "ping" various services when nodes are written
SYNOPSIS
use Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping;
my $ping = Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping->new(
node_to_url => 'http://mywiki/$node',
services => {
"geourl" => 'http://geourl.org/ping?p=$url'
},
agent => "My Wiki ping agent",
);
$wiki->register_pugin( plugin => $ping );
DESCRIPTION
A plug-in for Wiki::Toolkit sites, which will "ping" various external services when a node is written. A list of the services to ping, and
where in their URLs to add the URL of the node, are supplied when the plugin is created.
You need to tell it how to turn a node into a URL (node_to_url), and what services to ping (services). You can optionally pass a custom
user-agent string
