pings.txt
this will give you a file with the date then the pings sorted from quickest to
slowest. Plenty of scope to make it nicer, but it gets you the info you want.
(You will probably want to increase the count, but I would also add a delay,
-i, it will give you a better range and also it is not nice to fire a lot of
pings to a public server).
