If you ping another system from a Solaris box, instead of the verbose
return info from ping you get in most OS's, Solaris simply returns:
<hostname> is alive
There was a huge cult/contingent in the US for many years that
maintained Elvis Presley had staged his own death, so making your
Solaris machine say "elvis is alive" is the joke.
