Here is a ping node script. Look it over, create a mail.list file and set the path to this file in the script. Then add a cron entry to run the script at any interval you choose. The script will ping any host you have listed in the ping file (which you need to define and set its path to.). The script was written by the author of Mastering UNIX Shell Scripting by Wiley books (he provides his scripts for free on his website). I use the script but I have modified it so that I ping the IPs in the host file instead of a ping list. Note that I simply changed the extension on the script to preserve formatting when you open it online. Change extension back to ksh after saving.
Hi, dear all, I am rather new to Unix and have this problem where I cant seem to ping from 1 host to another. The scenerio is as follows: -
1 QNX host->Eth->1 SCO host
the SCO host is configured with it's IP
the QNX host is configured with another IP
both in the same domain, ie, 172.20.3.XX... (3 Replies)
The problem I am facing now is that the QNX host could not ping the SCO host and vice versa. They are in the same domain, ie, 172.20.3.xx. As I am very new to Unix, I guess I must have missed out some important steps. Pls help... Thanx alot (2 Replies)

rds-ping
RDS-PING(1) BSD General Commands Manual RDS-PING(1)NAME
rds-ping -- test reachability of remote node over RDS
SYNOPSIS
rds-ping [-c count] [-i interval] [-I local_addr] remote_addr
DESCRIPTION
rds-ping is used to test whether a remote node is reachable over RDS. Its interface is designed to operate pretty much the standard ping(8)
utility, even though the way it works is pretty different.
rds-ping opens several RDS sockets and sends packets to port 0 on the indicated host. This is a special port number to which no socket is
bound; instead, the kernel processes incoming packets and responds to them.
OPTIONS
The following options are available for use on the command line:
-c count
Causes rds-ping to exit after sending (and receiving) the specified number of packets.
-I address
By default, rds-ping will pick the local source address for the RDS socket based on routing information for the destination address
(i.e. if packets to the given destination would be routed through interface ib0, then it will use the IP address of ib0 as source
address). Using the -I option, you can override this choice.
-i timeout
By default, rds-ping will wait for one second between sending packets. Use this option to specified a different interval. The timeout
value is given in seconds, and can be a floating point number. Optionally, append msec or usec to specify a timeout in milliseconds
or microseconds, respectively.
Specifying a timeout considerably smaller than the packet round-trip time will produce unexpected results.
