Roku Developer Program

Looking at the available networking components, I only see socket options. Is there a way to perform ICMP such as PING or TraceRoute? (non-port options)

The SDK doesn't provide any ICMP functionality. Can I ask what you're trying to do?

i have my rokus check in by having them listen on a udp port for a text string. when my server sends the the text string. it is recieved by the player then broadcasts its unique dev ID back to my server.

server command to send string: echo "pingall" | nc -u 192.168.1.255 2222

server command to listen for response and store in a file: nc -w 10 -l -u 192.168.1.1 2223 >/tmp/rokus.tmp
