EXAMPLES

       serverping whitehouse.gov
              This  will  give  you  the  game  status of the XEvil game running on the server at
              whitehouse.gov, at default port 6066. It will try 3 times, and wait 1 sec per  try.
              At the time of this writing, whitehouse.gov is not running an XEvil server.

       serverping -timeout 5000 292.43.199.64:9999
              This  will  give  you  the  game  status of the XEvil game running on the server at
              292.43.199.64, at port 9999. It  will  try  3  times,  and  wait  5  sec  per  try.
              292.43.199.64 is not a valid IP address.
