Overview
Use
This is an HTTP check, not ICMP ping
-i exposes resolved addresses, -4 and -6 isolate address-family problems, and -t adds timing and the final URL. -k is only a trust diagnostic: success with it shows reachability, not a valid certificate.
Syntax
ping <host|url|me> [options]Reference
ping meuse the current host
ping example.comshow the HTTP status code
ping https://example.com -kcheck HTTPS without verifying the TLS certificate (diagnostics)
-fshow the final HTTP response headers
-ishow resolved IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
-tshow HTTP status, final URL and response time
-4force the HTTP request over IPv4 when cURL is available
-6force the HTTP request over IPv6 when cURL is available
-kdisable TLS certificate verification for an explicit HTTPS diagnostic
Current host
Diagnostics
-4 and -6 are useful on dual-stack hosting when one address family is broken but the other still works. They require cURL because PHP streams cannot reliably force the address family. -k is deliberately narrow: it helps distinguish TLS trust failures from basic HTTPS reachability, but a successful result with -k does not mean the certificate is valid or safe.

Install and manage
Install the current compatible version. Choose Base for the complete feature set or Minimum for the reduced package; use upgrade to update a module that is already installed.
Base and Minimum are two packages of the same current module release, not separate command versions.
Minimum package
Install the reduced package. Local reference is omitted;
install ping -mExact public version
Install exactly this published version.
install ping -v 1.2.7Check or update
Ask upgrade to check compatibility and replace the installed block only when needed.
upgrade pingRemove module
Remove the extension block while leaving the core and unrelated modules intact.
