Actually, that sounds pretty good.
Just means more scripting for me to remember, hahaha.
What about this scenario, though?
Since pinging can take a while (especially with a lot of servers and IPs), reading through each server one at a time can be time-consuming.
What if all of this info was in one text file?
Would forking be recommended then if I had no choice but to read from one file only?
