I know how to ping in Perl. That is easy. What I am wondering is if there is a way for Perl to determine whether the ping was successful or not. Or do I need to save the results out and parse the results seperately looking for the #of tries and successful revieves.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

dhclient.leases
dhclient.leases(5) File Formats Manual dhclient.leases(5)
NAME
dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database
DESCRIPTION
The Internet Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid. The data-
base is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease. If more than one declaration appears for a given lease, the
last one in the file is used. The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrance.
The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).
