[Bug 20854] New: wine cmd lacks 'ping'

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20854

Summary: wine cmd lacks 'ping'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.33
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I tried testing a couple batch scripts I use at work on wine. Since batch
doesn't have a 'sleep command', the common workaround is to use ping several
times instead, which works fine on windows. Wine, however, lacks ping, so it
fails miserably.

Implementing our own ping.exe shouldn't be too terribly hard. There are several
open source versions floating around to base the work off of. Hell, here's the
original public domain source:

Could perhaps just use a wrapper around the system's ping.

Take 20 sec and look at the source code (focus on line 59):
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/5e3e2ca7ffcd9d8c7e47da30eae778034...

This is just a fake program an not a replacement for ping.exe, so this bug is
not fixed.
