If you don't care what type of script, a batch script would be very simple.

PING 127.0.0.1 | FIND/I "TTL=" > NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 enter command(s) to execute if ping failed
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 enter command(s) to execute if ping was successful

or

PING xyz.com | FIND/I "BYTES=" > NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 enter command(s) to execute if ping failed
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 enter command(s) to execute if ping was successful
