not to be the best possible solution, but works, i use .bat files
for pinging and logging. there are two files, one [ping1.bat] with ip
addresses, and other [ping2.bat] with working loop
"cr.dat" is simple file consisting of cr/lf to simulate "enter" user input
it appears that the easiest way is to specifay all addresses to ping in
editor in outer procedure [ping1.bat]
ping1.bat is entry point for task schedular, so i have scanned
complete network every often, 24/24
just to mention, that sometimes [doue to overload, or router inercy]
single ping is not enough to check activity, so i have additional check
if first single ping fails. this is fully working example, just adjust
paths.
---------ping1.bat
@echo off
set LOG=d:\schedule\ping1.log
set BAT=c:\batl\schedule
echo ----------->>%LOG%
date <cr.dat | find "Current" >>%LOG%
time <cr.dat | find "Current" >>%LOG%
echo ws name1 ...
call %BAT%\ping2 10.82.0.11 %LOG%
echo ws name2 ...
call %BAT%\ping2 212.39.98.162 %LOG%
echo ws name3 ...
call %BAT%\ping2 10.31.0.203 %LOG%
rem here goes the rest of the list ...
rem ...
echo finished
echo.>>%LOG%
---------------
---------ping2.bat
rem %1 address to check
rem %2 log file
set WRK=d:\schedule\ping2.tmp
ping -n 1 %1 > %WRK%
find "Reply" %WRK% > nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto lab1
echo extended...
ping %1 >> %WRK%
find "Reply" %WRK% > nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto lab1
echo failed!
:lab1
type %WRK% >> %2
