If you dont show us your code, how do you expect us to help you?

We cant just guess what you put in it... Show us the code and the output and we can help get it working...

Actually I tried this below program which is in the correct sequence order of 16 client ip address from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.19.But I questioned program I don't have an idea because it is not in the correct sequence order of ip address.I just want to ping from server to 16 client ip address.whether the connection is available or not. I'm expecting output like as,
*How many connections are available and list that ips.
*How many connections are not available and list that ips.

My tried program code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

upcnt=0
downcnt=0
for ip in 192.168.1.{3..19}
do
   if ping -c 1 -W 1 $ip > /dev/null
   then
        let upcnt=upcnt+1
        uplist="$uplist\n    $ip"
   else
        let downcnt=downcnt+1
        downlist="$downlist\n    $ip"
   fi
done

printf "$upcnt ips are available:$uplist\n"
printf "$downcnt ips are not available:$downlist\n"

Please If you have an idea , Please give me a shell script for my questioned program.

So - what's not working correctly? Are those addresses pingable one by one from the command line? And, in your 10.66... example, what is the subnet mask ? Again, are those pingable?

Perhaps something like this, it's not interactive, however it achieves what you want with test FQDN's that you can change to your IP's.


Code:
jaysunn-> cat ping_test.sh 
#!/bin/bash

ServerList='www.google.com www.bing.com www.yahoo.com www.fakesite1111.com'

for i in ${ServerList} ; do



    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo ${i}
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
    ping -c 1 ${i} |grep '1 packets transmitted'
    if [ $? == 0 ]
        then
            echo "Ping is ok"
        else
            echo "!!ping Bad!!"
    echo "-------------------------------------------------------------"
            exit 1
    fi
done

OUTPUT:
Code:
jaysunn-> bash ping_test.sh 
-------------------------------------------------------------
www.google.com
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
Ping is ok
-------------------------------------------------------------
www.bing.com
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
Ping is ok
-------------------------------------------------------------
www.yahoo.com
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
Ping is ok
-------------------------------------------------------------
www.fakesite1111.com
-------------------------------------------------------------
ping: cannot resolve www.fakesite1111.com: Unknown host
!!ping Bad!!
-------------------------------------------------------------

How about this:

Code:
IPS="10.66.1.133  10.66.6.133  10.66.7.133  10.66.0.133
     10.66.1.5    10.66.2.133  10.66.4.133  10.66.3.133
     10.66.5.133  10.66.2.5    10.66.3.5    10.66.7.5
     10.66.0.5    10.66.6.5    10.66.4.5    10.66.5.5"

printf "1. connections available and listing those ips\n"
printf "2. connections not avialble and listing those ips\n"
while true
do
    printf "\n\nPlease select you choice [1-2]: "
    read
    printf "\n"
    CNT=0
    list=""
    case $REPLY in
       1|2) for ip in $IPS
          do
              if ping -c 1 -W 1 $ip 2>&1 2>&1 | egrep -q "unreachable|100%"
              then
                 [ $REPLY -eq 2 ] && let CNT=CNT+1 && list="$list\n$ip"
              else
                 [ $REPLY -eq 1 ] && let CNT=CNT+1 && list="$list\n$ip"
              fi
          done
          [ $REPLY -eq 1 ] && printf "$CNT connections are available\n\nIPs are,$list"
          [ $REPLY -eq 2 ] && printf "$CNT connections are not available\n\nIPs are,$list" ;;
       *) printf "Invalid choice\n\n"
          break
       ;;
    esac
done

Note: the parameters and output format of ping can vary from OS to OS for Redhat Linux you have -c 1 -W 1 parameters for 1 ping with 1 sec timeout. On another system it could be -n 1 -w 1.

For failed output we are looking for "100%" or "unreachable" (as in "100% packet loss" or "destination is unreachable").
