Thanks for the response
I will look into your suggestions. I am sure my "style" Issues will improve with use. SNMP is a large monster in itself. The ping is one of the bottle necks but the information being requested via snmp is another. Each device in the list takes 15 to 30 seconds to process. Taking the larger number that is about 350 minutes to process all devices. I was hoping there is a way to process say 10 devices at once. This may be too advanced for a shell script. My only experience at programming is from Turbo Pascal 15 years ago in high school, so I am a bit out of date.
Thank you again for all your help. So over all its not a completely horrific example of a script? LOL

All of the sudden scp got really slow ... from 2-3 seconds to 30 seconds.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
