The “Silent Ping” Command is a sort of improvement for the well known ping command.
So, why do we need it?
When you reboot a serve or PC remotely, you can never be sure when it was booted again or when it is online again,
Most people use the ping command with the -t parameter to check if a server is online again.

It seems that the process of adding Non-Latin characters is not widely documented.
