network:ping
Check if a server answers via ping.
$ ping ${domain-without-protocol}
try on your machine
This command initiates a ping test to the specified domain name without the protocol specified. In other words, it sends a signal to the server asking for a response to determine if it is reachable and how long it takes to respond. The result of the ping test displays information about the response time and the number of packets sent and received. The reason it includes only the domain name without the protocol is that the ping command automatically uses the default protocol for the system being used. If a protocol is included in the domain name, it may not work correctly.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
