How can I monitor network ping from a Rust Program?

• sysit

  System Sit! Check on the system with a quick glance.

I have a simple system monitoring utility, crodjer/sysit, in which I am working on an ability to also monitor network ping. I was able to get a POC implementation working (and solving my use case) by executing the system `/bin/ping` command in a process, which replicates my existing script in rust. But, this means that I now end up with a separate process for the `ping` command, a thread to monitor the command output.

Yeah. I'd need a TCP/UDP service hosted on the public web, which would need its own monitoring. It could though function as a system uptime health check 🤔. Although, I don't know if I want sysit to do that. healthchecks.io has been super reliable.
