CODE

#! /bin/ksh
rm pingresults.txt
IPLIST=`cat ./pinglist.txt`
for ip in $IPLIST
do
echo $ip
ping -c 2 -s 1 $ip
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo $ip "Pings">>pingresults.txt
else
echo $ip "Powered off">>pingresults.txt
fi
done
echo DONE!

We upload it to a server and it pings a list. The problem is it only sends two packets and it seems to take forever to transmit those packets and report back. Is there a way I can do it and not have to lower the number of packets transmitted?

This is not Perl - it has "#! /bin/ksh".

In general, you should set lower timeout.

Its a .sh file. Is that a shell file?

EDIT: Also we're switching servers and the ping "layout" is different I guess? they just threw this code at me and I have no expereicne with hp ux which is what we're using.
The one we use now which is what the code above is for is:
$ ping
usage: ping [-LRdfmnqrtv] [-T ttl] [-I addr] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload]
[-p pattern] [-s packetsize] host|[!]@hop1@hop2@...[@|:]dst

The one we're changing to is:
Usage: ping [-oprv] [-i address] [-I interval] [-t ttl] host [-n count [-m time
out]]
ping [-oprv] [-i address] [-I interval] [-t ttl] host packet-size [[-n]
count [-m timeout]]

What do I need to change in

CODE

ping -c 2 -s 1 $ip

to make it work on the new server? I made some changes but just get....ping: cannot set multicast source interface: Can't assign requested address

Figured it out:
ping -I 2 $ip 10 -n 3 -m 3

Thanks
