00:40 < plant-boy[m]> Why does the lightning-cli ping command only work on peers I have a channel with? I would like to ping a node as part of deciding if I want to try to make a channel with them, so that I know they are even alive. What I would like to understand is whether there is some reason inherent in the protocol that means you are not allowed to ping non-channel partner? Or is it just not implemented in the current ping command?

01:46 < openoms[m]> plant-you could use the linux ping command itself or telnet to check the ports of random peers
01:54 < openoms[m]> maybe not ping, but telnet works well:
01:54 < openoms[m]> telnet IPADDRESS PORT
01:54 < openoms[m]> or
01:54 < openoms[m]> torsocks xxx.onion PORT 
01:57 < openoms[m]> nc -zw IPADDRESS PORT 
01:57 < openoms[m]> is even slicker

02:50 < plant-boy[m]> > <@openoms:matrix.org> nc -zw IPADDRESS PORT 
02:50 < plant-boy[m]> > is even slicker
02:50 < plant-boy[m]> I was considering something like that, but nc does not work with tor-addresses. But torsocks does something similar?
02:51 < openoms[m]> plant-boy[m]: same as with telnet, just put torsocks in front
02:51 < openoms[m]> torsocks nc -zv xxx.onion PORT 
02:52 < openoms[m]> or
02:52 < openoms[m]> torsocks telnet xxx.onion PORT 
02:52 < openoms[m]> (missed telnet above)
02:55 < plant-boy[m]> Ok, I guess that should work. Thanks!
