Thanks folks.
for amitranjansahu:
I didn't have any luck with the script. I'd like to be able to scan all servers inside /etc/hosts one at a time for ping connection and some servers for a specific connection such as Oracle or MySql

For ygemici:
I did try using your script but it wasn't able to read the hostname ( i made change as well because field 8 is empty and it had to be changed to field 6)
Also my hostfile is under /etc/hosts (the script complained about not knowing the hostfile)

HOSTS(5)							File Formats Manual							  HOSTS(5)

NAME
hosts - hostname to IP address database SYNOPSIS
/etc/hosts DESCRIPTION
The hosts database lists the IP addresses and the hostnames that translate to these IP addresses. It is used by nonamed(8) in a network without name servers. A simple /etc/hosts may look like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.9.200.1 darask 192.9.200.2 burask The localhost entry lists a special address that refers to the local host itself (a kind of /dev/tty for hosts.) You should only list it if nonamed needs it! The other entries are actual machines. The file may contain comments marked with '#'. You can have aliases (more hostnames on the same line), but it is not recommended, because nonamed can't present them to the system as CNAME records. An often seen form like 192.9.200.1 darask.home.cs.vu.nl darask is harmless though, and has the small advantage that you can use the short name in /etc/ethers so rarpd can match it at boot time.
