 Genlist - ping scanner

 genlist [Input Type] [Scan Options] [General Options]

 Genlist is a program that returns a list of hosts that responding 

 to ping probes. Thus, this list can be used to perform an scan of 

 these machines using PBNJ or Nmap.

 Apart of PBNJ 2.0 suite of tools to monitor changes on a network.

 Usage: genlist [Input Type] [General Options]

 Input Type:

   -s  --scan <target>      Ping Target Range ex: 10.0.0.\*

 Scan Options:

   -n  --nmap <path>        Path to Nmap executable 

       --inter <interface>  Perform scan using non default interface

 General Options:

   -v  --version            Display version

   -h  --help               Display this information

 $ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.\* > iplist

 $ sudo ./scanpbnj -i iplist

 $ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.\* > iplist

 $ sudo ./nmap -iL iplist

-s <target> Ping Target Range ex: 10.0.0.*

 The ping scan is a useful method of only scanning the host that are 

 responding to ICMP echo requests. This scan basically takes the host 

 that respond to ping and prints them. This is useful in combining 

 the result with a PBNJ or Nmap scan because no time is wasted in 

 scanning hosts that do not respond.

--interface <intface>

 This option sets an alternative interface for performing the scan.

 This is useful when you have multiple interfaces on a machine

 with restrictions on which devices can access certain IP ranges.

-n --nmap <path>

 Use an alternative Nmap rather than Nmap located in the your  path. 

 This is useful if you have multiple version of Nmap installed on

 a system or if you are testing a new version of Nmap. Remember that if

 you are using a newly compiled version of Nmap that you need to 

 export NMAPDIR to the location that Nmap was compiled in. Thus, if

 you have compiled Nmap in your homedir, use the following notation to

 run it with Genlist:

 $ export NMAPDIR=$HOME/nmap-VERSION/

 $ sudo genlist -s 10.0.0.\* --nmap $HOME/nmap-VERISON/

-v --version

 Prints the Genlist version number and exits.

-h --help Display this information

 Prints a short help screen with the most common command flags.

 Running Genlist without any arguments does the same thing.

 already been requested.

 Any bugs found should be reported to the online bug-tracking system

 available on the web at :

 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=149390&atid=774488.

 Before reporting bugs, please check to see if the bug has already been

 reported.

 When reporting PBNJ bugs, it is important to include a reliable way to

 reproduce the bug, version number of PBNJ and Nmap, OS

 name and version, and any relevant hardware specs. And of course,

 patches to rectify the bug are even better.
