NAME

       serverping - check the status of an XEvil server

SYNOPSIS

       serverping [-count num_tries] [-timeout timeout_ms] server_name[:port]

DESCRIPTION

       serverping  is  a  simple utility to give you information on an XEvil server, such as the game style, who is playing, and how well they are
       doing.

OPTIONS

       -count num_tries
	      specify the number of pings to send before giving up, default=3

       -timeout timeout_ms
	      specify the time in milliseconds to wait for a response before giving up, default=1000

       server_name[:port]
	      specify the server name or IP address, optionally with port, default port is 6066

EXAMPLES

       serverping whitehouse.gov
	      This will give you the game status of the XEvil game running on the server at whitehouse.gov, at default port 6066. It  will  try  3
	      times, and wait 1 sec per try. At the time of this writing, whitehouse.gov is not running an XEvil server.

       serverping -timeout 5000 292.43.199.64:9999
	      This  will give you the game status of the XEvil game running on the server at 292.43.199.64, at port 9999. It will try 3 times, and
	      wait 5 sec per try. 292.43.199.64 is not a valid IP address.
