ping script with email option

Hi

I have already posted about this issue here and I got reply from some members. Now I need few modifications to be done. Can someone assist ?

I need a script to be put in cron and this script should run everyday morning at 06:00 AM.

I have a filed named "network_hosts" and the below are the contents of the file

Code:
root@[/] #cat network_hosts
frssit02.standardchartered.co.in
frssit01.standardchartered.co.in
cbspssit.standardchartered.co.in
cbspsuat.standardchartered.co.in
cbsappfs1.standardchartered.co.in
cbsappfs2.standardchartered.co.in
cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in

All the servers are live except cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in as we have shutdown this lpar.

The script should ping all the servers at 06:00 AM

Once the script has been run at 06:00 AM it should send me an email to me mentioning which servers are live and which one are dead.

It would be better if the email I get looks like the below :

Code:
frssit02.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
frssit01.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspssit.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbspsuat.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs1.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbsappfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is alive
cbdodbfs2.standardchartered.co.in - this server is not alive, please contact the unix support team

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. ATTRIBUTES
