bring-a-ping

============

a half pointless module that prints a string back to the command line

used to test basic docker functionality in other modules test suites

## install

node:

```bash

$ npm install bring-a-ping -g

```

docker:

```bash

$ docker pull binocarlos/bring-a-ping

```

## usage

node:

```

$ bring-a-ping

ping

```

docker:

```

$ docker run --rm binocarlos/bring-a-ping

ping

```

You can change the string and loop over it:

```

$ bring-a-ping --string apples --timeout 2000

apples

apples

...

```

## options

```

Usage: bring-a-ping [arg...]

 -s, --string=ping          what string to ping

 -t, --timeout=1000         loop and ping every X milliseconds

```

## why?

Because I needed a throwaway docker image that is lightweight and throwaway.

This means in tests I can `docker pull` then `docker rmi --no-prune` and it dont take much time.
