[hobbit] fping multiple interfaces on one host

[Larry.Barber at usda.gov]

>From the bb-hosts man page:


       conn={best,|worst,}IP1[,IP2...]
              This adds additional IP-adresses that are pinged during the nor-
              mal "conn" test. So the normal "conn" test must be enabled  (the
              default)  before this tag has any effect. The IP-adresses listed
              here are pinged in addition to the main IP-address.

              When multiple IP's are pinged, you can choose if ALL  IP's  must
              respond  (the  "worst"  method), or AT LEAST one IP must respond
              (the "best" setting). All of the IP's are reported in  a  single
              "conn"  status,  whose  color  is  determined from the result of
              pinging the IP's and the best/worst setting.  The default method
              is  "best"  -  so  it  will report green if just one of the IP's
              respond to ping.


Thanks,
Larry Barber

	Hi,
	
	We have one last custom script to move over from an old BB server to  
	a Hobbit :)
	
	It was a script to ping all the interfaces of a host and show the  
	results in a "IP" column.
	
	With fping you can specify multiple hosts to ping. Is there a simple  
	way to have hobbit do this for us already? 
	Ideally to show the ping results in the "conn" column.
	
	I have attached a screenshot of what the current script shows.
	
	Thanks,
