I have a script to detect if a host is pingable or not. The problem is that I would like it to put the nonpingable hosts in one file and the pingable hosts in another. I have come up with this so far:
This works but it is clumsy. If I try to just do a redirect after the ping it doesn't work, though. What I get is only the first host name that the ping is tried on. Would I need another loop to get the hosts in two different files? Any suggestions?
You could try something like:

hosts
HOSTS(5) BSD File Formats Manual HOSTS(5)NAME
hosts -- host name data base
DESCRIPTION
The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the network. For each host a single line should be present with the follow-
ing information:
Internet address
Official host name
Aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
Network addresses may either be specified for IP version 4 or version 6. IP version 4 addresses are specified in the conventional dotted
address notation. IP version 6 addresses are specified using the colon-separated notation described in RFC1924.
Host names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
The hosts file is read by mDNSResponder(8) and used to supply results for calls to getaddrinfo(3), getnameinfo(3), etc. in addition to
results obtained from multicast and unicast DNS.
