Unix shell script for failed pings

Asked by dniven in Shell Scripting, Unix Systems Programming, Mac OS X

Tags: Berkeley BSD, OS X x, 10.4

Hi Folks,

I use the following shell script to send extended pings to a host on a problematic network. What I'd like to do is have the script email me ONLY when the packet loss is anything but 0%.

Currently, my emailed results look like this:

** Automated System Status Report **

Thu May 8 13:03:33 PDT 2008

RESULTS: PING problemchild.example.com (192.168.1.5): 1470 data bytes

--- problemchild.example.com ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.775/0.823/1.310/0.066 ms

_______________________________________________

This script is /Users/hcs/bin/, and runs every 15 mins

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, I'm a novice shell scripter.
