A PING Batch File

@echo off
ping 10.4.6.7

Hi,
it didn't work.
I name it as ping.bat but when i double click on it. It show a blank screen.

for multiple servers just add another line
@echo off
ping www.yahoo.com
ping www.microsoft.com
ping www.google.com
you won't get a reply from Microsoft

Where are you running it from? What path?

No good, it show me a blank screen after i double click on the bat file

start > run > cmd
i my place my ping.bat in c:\

try it on the desktop.
Do you have admin rights?

ping.doc

ok I do have a ping batch file that reads from a file and pings all name/address and give you a basi report.

:: multiIP.bat
@echo off

for /f "tokens=*" %%I in (names.txt) do call :pinger %%I
goto :eof

:pinger
     
Ping -n 2 -w 100 %1  >> results.txt
echo %1            %TIME%  >> results.txt    
echo *************************************************** >> results.txt
:: DONE


make a file in the same folder called names.txt and add one server address per line

it will create a result file (not very nice formated I give you) with the results

however I would serch for freeping by tools forever as this is a great tool where you can add the servers you want and it will give you a running report on how they reply

or look up angryip scanner if you want to scan a range of ip's by pinging

PS you get a black screen because you have run the echo off command..

try replacing it with echo on and you will see the results.

Hi, where would the results.txt placed ?

in the same folder as you run the batch file from

if you want simple change the line in the file to
echo *************************************************** >> c:\results.txt

or any other path you have rights to use.

(Dam i wish you could edit posts after you made them)

nope, is not working, can't locate result.txt

ok well it works perfectly on my PC.

click start,
run cmd to get a command prompt

drag and drop the batch file in to the window  (short cut to enter in teh path to a batch file)

hit return and see what the error message says.

I would also suggest changing the echo off to read echo on

Try echo >>c:\results.txt

for a bit of info,

echo >> "file name"  will append to a file (or create it if it is not currently there and apend to it)
echo > "file name" will over write the data in a file.

now the out put should look some thing like bellow. (as you can see bad formatting)

what do you need this batch file for?
I wrote it ages ago and never bothered to tidy it up.

rename this file from working.txt to working.bat
working.txt

From an earlier post of mine, if of some value:

I put the following together. It should test your connection for you (>1/sec), however careful, it is pretty crude. It runs forever until you press Ctrl+C, but it makes no log entries until there is a disconnect. However, if the cable is disconnected for long it will fill the log very quickly. You might want to put some limits on it but I didn't have time right now. To run you need a tiny utility called Alive, as explained in the batch file. Just save with a name like Connect.bat and run by entering Connect <IP address>  e.g.  Connect 123.123.123.123  It will create a log file in the same folder named IPlog.txt with basic diagnostics as to why the disconnect.
Hope it is of some help.
