Ping Script

[FN-GM]

hi,

 

I am looking for a script that will ping an ip address. If it does not get a reply i would then like it to run a batch file

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks

ping -n 1 -l 1 targetip
if %errorlevel%==0 echo Host is up!
if %errorlevel%==1 goto DOWN

:DOWN
Do stuff here
And more stuff

 

Should work.

Is that a batch file?

 

Thanks

Batch code, yep. Change targetip for whichever IP address you're wanting to check, and put the code you want to execute if it fails under the label.

 

In fact, thinking about it, this might be better -

 

ping -n 1 -l 1 targetip
if %errorlevel%==0 goto END

Do stuff here
And more stuff

:END

Could even use

 

ping -n 1 -l 1 targetip>NULL:

 

to supress feedback?

Use my No ping script & edit it slightly...
