Code:

#!/bin/sh
ping host1
ping host2

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

I can’t resist either. Try this so it doesn’t ping forever:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ping -c count host1
ping -c count host2

Cheers.

After all it is Friday…   8)

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
HOST1=$(ping -c 5 host1 | grep “bytes from” | wc -l)
HOST2=$(ping -c 5 host2 | grep “bytes from” | wc -l)
[[ $HOST1 -eq 5 ]] && [[$HOST2 -eq 5]] && echo “All OK” && exit 0
echo “Some Connection Failure”
exit 1
