capture ping to a file
I would like to capture the output from ping into a file.
I am on solaris 9.

I can get the basic "server is alive" command in a file, but I want the response from ping -s into a file. I am going to schedule this in cron to run at certain times during the day.

When I run the ping -s in a script it just keeps going and going.

I already have traceroutes, but I want the ping -s also.Smilie

Code:
ping -s > /path/to/file

The fix is to set how many times it attempts to ping - read the man page for ping - there is a packetsize and count with the -s option.

ping -s myhost 56 10 > pingresults
(56 packetsize is a default normally, but with the -s you need to put it in)
This ping command will do 10 attempts of ping to myhost and then stop.

AH. I was looking for that in the man pages. Missed it.

Thanks!
