       serverping [-count num_tries] [-timeout timeout_ms] server_name[:port]

DESCRIPTION

       serverping is a simple utility to give you information on an XEvil server, such as the game style, who is
       playing, and how well they are doing.

OPTIONS

       -count num_tries
              specify the number of pings to send before giving up, default=3

       -timeout timeout_ms
              specify the time in milliseconds to wait for a response before giving up, default=1000

       server_name[:port]
              specify the server name or IP address, optionally with port, default port is 6066

EXAMPLES

       serverping whitehouse.gov
              This  will  give you the game status of the XEvil game running on the server at whitehouse.gov, at
              default port 6066. It will try 3 times, and wait 1 sec per try.  At  the  time  of  this  writing,
              whitehouse.gov is not running an XEvil server.

       serverping -timeout 5000 292.43.199.64:9999
              This  will  give  you the game status of the XEvil game running on the server at 292.43.199.64, at
              port 9999. It will try 3 times, and wait 5 sec per try. 292.43.199.64 is not a valid IP address.
