I looked at the node. I could add this feature for Linux, however I'd need help to bring all supported platforms up to date.
relevant code in the node:
if (plat == "linux" || plat == "android") {
commandLineOptions = ["-n", "-w", timeoutS, "-c", "1"]
} else if (plat.match(/^win/)) {
commandLineOptions = ["-n", "1", "-w", hostOptions.timeout]
} else if (plat == "darwin" || plat == "freebsd") {
commandLineOptions = ["-n", "-t", timeoutS, "-c", "1"]
} else {
node.error("Sorry - your platform - "+plat+" - is not recognised.", msg);
return; //dont pass go - just return!
}
