FastestServer

Find the fastest server via ping.

Installation

$ gem install fastest_server

Usage

The most basic usage is very simple, you may type fastest with a sequence of servers[1]:

$ fastest 5.153.63.162 159.8.223.72 169.38.84.49 169.46.49.132 23.246.195.8
(after a while)
23.246.195.8

And there're some options available, considered following command:

$ fastest --file list --count 3 --job 10 --verbose 169.61.108.35

Where,

• -f or --file option will load servers ip or uri (one server per line) from a file named list;
• -c or --count option specify the maximum number of packets will be sent (default: 10);
• -j or --job option specify the maximum number of ping job run at once (default: 8);
• -v or --verbose flag enable printing a more useful status and statistic information, otherwise only the fastest server will be displayed on the screen.

Noticed that, you can also provide additional servers as parameters, even a -f or --file option has been set.
