Traceroute from Astaro, Over a manually specified interface?

HopefulSoul
Shortstory: I would like to ping or traceroute to an external source (8.8.8.8 is fine) via a specified interface, in my case int/eth 1

Backstory:I have comcast on int/eth1, it went down (as it does rather routinely) so i switch to eth2 as the default ipv4 gateway (routes internet through another location)

I would like to remotely test if comcast is functioning again before i switch the ipv4 default gateway back and break any current connections.

Yes i could call comcast but who trusts them? Yes i could drive over with a laptop and plug into the comcast modem, but why bother if i can do it from my comfy chair?

thanks!

    Ron had a typo in the spelling of traceroute that I just fixed.  That should work just fine now.

    i didnt even notice the typo lol

    i didnt copy and paste his command, i manually typed it and even tried simplifying:

    loginuser@BH-Hotel-GW:/home/login > traceroute 8.8.8.8
    -bash: traceroute: command not found
    loginuser@BH-Hotel-GW:/home/login > tracert 8.8.8.8
    -bash: tracert: command not found
    loginuser@BH-Hotel-GW:/home/login > trace 8.8.8.8
    -bash: trace: command not found

    thoughts?

    you need to do a su first. loginuser can't run that command.

    son of a bitch! i was sure i tried this since i posted about having already done it...and indeed i had...but i tried again and it worked just now

    i went through my history as root on this box and i freakin typo'd it differently than ron did ! 

    don't get too close to us, our fat fingers are contagious [:(]

    thanks for holding my hand
