No it looks like the back-ticks will be fine

I have this in a loop

results = `ping -s #{bytes} -c 1 -D #{host}`


the code runs fine localhost and on my godaddy IP  hoever it blows up on 
another site.  But I am not confident I am doing this right so How can I 
tell if its my code or a valid black-hole MTU?

Thanks
