[atlas] Triggering traces from probes in specific cities

Hi Anurag,

you can do what you want with RIPE Atlas Tools in two steps.

First get a list of probes that are around a city like:

|ripe-atlas probes --location Amsterdam --ids-only --radius 20 |

If you do:

|ripe-atlas probes -h |

you can see some explanation of the options.

And then get the above list and pass it as a comma separated list to the 
measure command like:

|ripe-atlas measure traceroute --from-probes 1,2,3,4 your_target |

--paris is the paris traceroute option. It should be an integer from 0 
to 64 as stated in the RIPE Atlas website documentation.

I hope that helps!

Regards,
Andreas
