Usage

eyeon.pinghosts(string name, number timeout)

• name (string, optional)

A unique identifier for this lock.

• timeout (number, optional)

specify how long to wait for replys from hosts; the default is 1sec, but on slow networks or slow machines, replies may take longer than this, so you can raise it if need be (the eyeonscript cmd line options -p and -P use 1 sec and 10 sec for this timeout, respectively)

Returns

Returns a table containing details on Scripthosts currently available on the network.

Remarks

This function is similar to the eyeonscript command line -p option. It does a broadcast ping looking for running script hosts:

 table eyeon.pinghosts([name [, time]])

By default it looks for all running script hosts, but you can limit it to a specific name (say "Fusion", or "eyeonServer", or any other string you might pass to eyeon.scriptapp).

Requirements

• eyeonScript 5.1
