Help with Ping command for windows Box
Hi,

I would like to write a script for checking the windows remote server has responding or not from Unix box.

123.34.56.222-- the windows remote server

I wrote like:
Code:
ping 123.34.56.222

PING 123.34.56.222: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=0. time=8. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=1. time=6. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=2. time=6. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=3. time=6. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=4. time=6. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=5. time=5. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=6. time=6. ms
64 bytes from 123.34.56.222: icmp_seq=7. time=5. ms
........

You could use the return code:
man page
Quote:

RETURN VALUE
ping exits with one of the following values:

0 On success.

1 On failure such as unknown host, illegal packet size, etc.

2 On a unreachable host or network.

AUTHOR
ping was developed in the Public Domain.

FILES
/etc/hosts

SEE ALSO
getaddrinfo(3N), gethostent(3N), inet(3N), inet6(3N).

Hewlett-Packard Company - 4 - HP-UX 11i Version 1: Jul 2002
e.g. :
(xpvbe is my XP-PC, mil1 is a removed box (but still in /etc/hosts by the look of things...) ...)
Code:
ant:/home/vbe $  ping mil1 -n4;echo $?
PING mil1: 64 byte packets

----mil1 PING Statistics----
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

ant:/home/vbe $ ping xpvbe -n4;echo $?      
PING xpvbe: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from XXX.YY.13.85: icmp_seq=0. time=1. ms

64 bytes from XXX.YY.13.85: icmp_seq=2. time=0. ms

----xpvbe PING Statistics----
