I am using the nping tool to run tests on several networks. I also wrote some scripts to automate the parameters of such tests. I also need to avoid sudo to ask the password every time a new instance of the terminal is launched (the tool will be included in a custom bootable USB that some colleagues -not linux users- will use for testing remote networks -static LANs)

I plan to include a password disabling line in /etc/sudoers.d for the nping command

%someUsers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /<where_the_hell_is_nping?>/nping

I cannot find where the nping command is placed though.

I am not an experienced user of Linux myself, so apologies in advance if the question sounds dumb

You can use the which command to find where are located command. Here is a little example with ls : 

damadam@Pc:~$ which ls
/bin/ls
damadam@Pc:~$ /bin/ls
Bureau        node_modules       Public        Vidéos      Images               
desktop_session  Modèles       openxenmanager     Shared
Documents    Musique       package-lock.json  Téléchargements
damadam@Pc:~$
