Conditional execution

Hi All,

I want to echo a message in case a system is reachable by ping or echo a different message in case it's not reachable.

Sample code i wrote is
Code:
ping localhost -n 2 | grep 'ttl' > ping_op; ls ping_op > /dev/null && drReachable=Alive; echo -e `date`: \\t "DR server is reachable" >> dr_check.log

i thought if the grep command finds ttl only then it will create a file but it does not seem like that.

How can i achieve conditional execution for the same

i thought i will o/p the command to a file and do a line count but it is fine for hpux but it doesn't work for solaris, which outputs a single line, not reachable or alive.

I'm new to this stuff. maybe there are better approaches Smilie

NAME
tping - Send echo messages to LAM nodes. SYNOPSIS
tping [-hv] [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] nodes OPTIONS
-h Print the command help menu. -v Turn OFF verbose mode. -c count Send count messages. -d delay Delay delay seconds between each message. -l length Each message is length bytes long. DESCRIPTION
The tping command sends messages to, and collects replies from, a list of nodes, via the LAM echo server. It is similar to the UNIX ping(8) command, and is used as a quick diagnosis of the LAM network. Unless options are specified, tping sends a 1 byte message an infinite number of times, displaying the roundtrip time of each message as it completes, with a delay of 1 second between roundtrips. After the loop is broken (with keyboard interrupt, eg: ^C), tping prints statis- tics about all roundtrip messages. EXAMPLES
tping h Echo messages to the local node. tping -v n7 -l 1000 -c 10 Echo 1000 byte messages to node 7. Stay silent while working. Stop after 10 roundtrips and report statistics. BUGS
There is no built-in timeout and tping will wait forever to receive an echo. If no echo is received, due to a dead link or node, tping hangs. Stop the process with a keyboard suspend signal (eg: ^Z) and terminate LAM with lamhalt(1) or lamwipe(1) (although the use of lamwipe(1) is deprecated). SEE ALSO
lamhalt(1), lamwipe(1) LAM 7.1.4 July, 2007 TPING(1)
