Re: Ping script using Redhat and BAsh

for file in `cat iplist.txt`
do
ping -c 1 -A $file | grep errors | wc -l
read tom
echo $tom
if [ "$tom" != 0 ]
then
mail -s"Test"
exx@xx.com
else
mail -s"Worked"
exx@xx.com
fi
done
For starters, make sure that iplist.txt is in the correct directory. I assume it will always be in the same directory as the script? If not, add a path to the file name. Second, for the mail portion, try using sendmail as this is commonly installed on RedHat. To check the status of the ping command, use a variable to capture the status. Not sure what the return value is of that ping command, adjust the IF statement to match.
for file in `cat iplist.txt`
do
PING_TEST=0
PING_TEST=`ping -c 1 -A $file | grep errors | wc -l`
#read tom
#echo $tom
if [ $PING_TEST -ne 0 ]
#Use -ne (not equal) for integer comparison
then
sendmail -s"Test"
exx@xx.com
else
sendmail -s"Worked"
exx@xx.com
fi
done

pygm2n
pygm2n(1) Python Gateway mail to news pygm2n(1)
NAME
pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news
SYNOPSIS
pygm2n -n newsgroups [ -s newsserver ] [ -h ]
DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state. try -h option for more detailed option.
pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799
compliant.
If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox, so pygm2n will open
and read it.
Note that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email.
EXAMPLES
There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg
I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng). Subscribe to a list with this user (or simply email one message to). Every
email posted to this user will send to newsgroups, in its .procmailrc I've put something like:
:0 bh * ^From *mailinglist-request@lists.debian.org | $HOME/pygm2n -n local.debian.mailinglist
