I'm using the following ..

fping -c1 computer

I get 0% packet loss when I run it manually from the terminal. I get 0% packet loss when I run it from a script, ~/scripts/torrent.done.script.

But I get 100% packet loss when transmission-daemon triggers, and runs the script.

computer : xmt/rcv/%loss = 1/0/100%

I'm at a loss trying to figure this out. I tried specifying the IP address explicitly, I tried using only IPv4 but same results. I tried with a public IP address, same results. It tried with a VPN and without, same results.

ping works, fping does not. So bizarre, to me.

  • What happens if you do other network-related commands (e.g., curl, scp or wget) from those contexts? Commented Oct 27, 2024 at 1:30
  • I just tried ping and it worked! So weird. Commented Oct 27, 2024 at 1:39
  • is transmission-daemon perhaps running as a different user, in a different network namespace, or in a different cgroups scope or such? Commented Oct 27, 2024 at 15:20
  • @MarcusMüller ping works fping does not. Same network, same user. Commented Oct 29, 2024 at 0:01
