scsiping uses user-mode SCSI commands to query a set of specified SCSI disks, 
and outputs the results in great detail to the standard output. Disks are
specified on the command line, as raw devices. 

For example, under SunOS 4.x:

	scsiping /dev/rsd0c /dev/rsd1c /dev/rsd3c

or under SunOS 5.x:

	scsiping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d1s2

scsiping supports sun4c, sun4m, sun4d, and sun4e systems running SunOS 4.1.1
or later. 

For further information, see the documents of the ANSI X3T9.2 (SCSI) task 
group (X3.131-198x). The official ANSI documents may be obtained from:

Draft copies are available for anonymous ftp from ftp.cdf.toronto.edu in
pub/scsi-doc. 

Installation: edit the makefile to taste, and install. scsiping needs to be
              able to read the raw disk devices specified on the command line.
              It can be installed setuid or setgrpid as desired.

The latest version of this software is available for anonymous ftp
in North America from ftp.cdf.toronto.edu (128.100.31.2) or in Europe from 
ftp.fwi.uva.nl (146.50.4.20) in /pub/scsiping.

Bug reports, fixes, enhancements, etc. are welcome.
