 For native OS packages (like RPMs) all tools now use `/usr/share/gtransfer` as
 base path for bash libraries. This fixes [issue #26].
 
+Integrated a 1 second timeout to the ping command in
+`helperFunctions/isValidUrl()` to keep wait time low when transferring between
+hosts not answering echo requests.
