Ping the hostname of many servers using a script
Hi
We have some 300 servers in the Data center and some of them are running with AIX and some of them are running with Solaris.
I need a script which can be run in one of the server and that script should ping the hostname of all the 300 servers.
Also the script should notify if any server is down.
Please assist in writing the script.

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.
