WatskeBart Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 The ping input box is working fine, but when issuing a ping with the execute command input box it will stall the web UI. You don't have to reboot though just issue killall ping and the web ui will respond again. ;) Quote

Sebkinne Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 The reason this happens is because you forget to specify a -t option (how many pings are sent). If you do not specify this, it will keep pinging and pinging so no UI response. Best, Sebkinne Quote

I do remember someone was trying to get an ssh client inside the UI so things like this would not happen and you would not need the separate program/login again Quote
