Ping text file of ip addressese and output to text file - Page 2

Lasthitlarry · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2008

Appreciate the responses, so far I am trying to read up on what to do next, the problems I am facing are I need to know how to step to the next line in the text file, and the results I got so far are troubling. I have 2 ip addresses so far in the text file, when the IP address that pings is first in the list, it prints:

--IP address 1-- PINGS

but when I have an IP address that doesnt ping first in the list it prints:

--IP address 2-- PINGS

I also modified my code to delete the results file at the start of the script

EDIT: I have removed the real IP addresses and just have them named --IP address 1-- and --IP address 2--

Give this a shot...

Code:

 
#!/bin/ksh
List=pinglist1.txt

cat $List | while read ip
do

  ping -c 2 $ip
  rc=$?
 
  if [[ "$rc" = "0" ]]
  then
    echo "$ip PINGS">>pingresults.txt
  else
    echo "$ip DOESN'T PING">>pingresults.txt
  fi
done

Can you try this one:

#! /bin/ksh
IPLIST=`cat ./pinglist1.txt`
for ip in $IPLIST
do
echo $ip
ping -c 2 $ip >>log.txt
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
print $ip "PINGS">>pingresults.txt
else
print $ip "DOESN'T PING">>pingresults.txt
fi
done

THANKS.

I just had to modify it a bit, changed [[ ]] to [ ] and print to echo and it worked.

pingresults.txt produced the following (xxx for security purposes):

xxx.xxx.193.16 DOESN'T PING
xxx.xxx.135.194 PINGS

Thanks!
