Talk:Tnsping

Last line?

In the Last line of the result of tnsping is showing something like OK(300 msecs)

what this indicates ?

Strange question - "OK" means it worked and "300 msecs" means it took 300 milliseconds. Frank Naude 10:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Remove questionable examples

These examples are wrong, and hence removed from the article. My guess is the OP wanted to show the HOSTNAME adapter, but made a hash of it. Please feel free to correct them and move them back to the article. Frank Naude 10:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
