[Cerowrt-devel] pingstats.sh script to measure and record latency

[Rich Brown <richb.hanover@gmail.com>]

Here's the script that I used to measure the ping latency during RRUL, Speedtest.net, and other bandwidth tests. 
Note that this script works fine under the ash shell on CeroWrt if vis the clean_up() function declaration as noted.

Enjoy!

# pingstats.sh - Script to start pinging a host and
# produce summary of the response times after receiving a Ctl-C

# Usage: sh pingstats.sh [ host name/ip to ping ]

# If there is an option, it is treated as the name/address to ping
# Default is gstatic.com

	# grep to keep lines that have "time=", then sed to isolate the time stamps, and sort them
	# awk builds an array of those values, and prints first & last (which are min, max)
