How to spawn multiple Ping Process

I need to do a ping scan of a subnet.
I can Enum through the IPs and do this, but it takes over 5 minutes as
I can only create 1 process at a time. Does anyone know how I can
create multiple Ping Processes so as to send out 255 pings at once?
(sort of a reverse ping flood).

FYI: using the " -n 1" switch with Ping will cause it to only send 1
ping.
Basicly the code is:

For i = 1 to 255
Dim MyProc as new Process
MyProc.StartInf o.FileName = "ping"
MyProc.StartInf o.Arguments = "192.168.1. " & i.tostring & " -n 1"
MyProc.StartInf o.CreateNoWindo w = True
MyProc.StartInf o.RedirectStand ardOutput = True
MyProc.StartInf o.UseShellExecu te = False
MyProc.Start
Dim MyReturnString as string = MyProc.Standard Output.ReadToEn d
MyProc = Nothing

GoDoSub_UseStri ng (MyReturnString )
Next i

In my sub GoDoSub_UseStri ng() I take the Ping output and see if the
ping returned a pong, or if it timed out. This way I can compile a
list of live IPs.
I have tried to create a collection of 255 processes then run through
the collection and call MyProc.Start in each, but it still pauses
after each MyProc.Start.
Anyone? ThankyouThankyo u -scott

I'm trying to use Python and PyGTK + Glade, along with Bash. I want to make a GUI for the Linux vpnclient command-line tool. (Look for linux-vpnclient.tar.gz on the Internet if you are curious.)

What I was trying to do was either spawn it and then use another command-line tool to check on its status, or shell the process and...

Is it possible to pass a python object to a python program as argument? In my program I would like to start executing an other python program and don't wait until that finishes, only launch it and keep running the original program. The obvious way I can think of it is using the exec* or spawn* function families. However, these are generic functions to start any external program and I was wondering if there was a special way to start a...

I want to spawn a child process based on an external executable that I have the path for. I then want to wait on that executable, and capture it's output. In the os module, fork is only supported on unix, but spawn is only supported on windows. The os.system call is implemented by calling the C system call, which is of course inefficient and has portability gotchas because it calls the underlying system shell (sh for unix, cmd for...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
