WordPress seems to have removed the important part. But you need to add PS enclosed in pointy brackets between the curly brackets in the while. Hope that make sense.

while()

To make it work.

Very useful script, Thanks.

First line should have been…..

while($line = ){

my bad.

This script was extremely helpful. I did find, however, that there were a few things missing. I wanted to make you aware and have listed only the updated lines below. I used the variable $line.

while($line = ){
($field1, $field2, $field3, $field4, $field5, $field6)=split(“\t” , $line);

Thanks again for making this script available.

Sorry for such a delayed response. I’ve been swamped meeting audit requirements for new policies/standards being pushed out… Let me have a little time … to find time to look into this properly.

Hello there, great script .
I have couple of questions,
- Have you made the change and combined both scripts in a single perl script?

I created the host.txt file including 2 ip addresses (for testing)
10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2

- in attempt to run the shell script the script seem to be hung…or in a loop of some sort,…

——————————————————————
$ ./ping.sh
#!/bin/bash -xv
#
#startPing.sh
#This script starts the ping.pl perl script to read multiple ping
#destinations from hosts.txt
#written by trizsolo
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for i in `cat hosts.txt`
do
./ping.pl $i
done
cat hosts.txt
++ cat hosts.txt
+ for i in ‘`cat hosts.txt`’
+ ./ping.pl 10.0.0.1
——————————————————————-

What am i doing wrong ?
I have the same script in the same location
- ping.pl
- ping.sh
-hosts.txt

Please advise,
Respectfully,

Instead of this
”
while(
) {

”
use

”
while() {

”

then it will work properly.

I would set up a crontab job to run how ever often you want and direct the output to a log location.

It is also easy to add some lines of code that will email output that you specify from the script. I will try to update this script in near future as I have already made some enhancements to the original script.

Hi Ravi, yes I do use two scripts to run this… basically the shell script just kicks off the other script and makes it loop. I could convert the shell script into a perl script and I’m sure it wouldn’t be too difficult to combine both scripts into one.
