Ping one from from within each machine whose name is in the list.

Hi,
Ping one from from within each machine whose name is in the list.

I have a list of machine names in a txt file
I want to go into the machine and ping my exchange server for example to check if the ping works fine from within each client

Regards
Raja

#!/bin/bash

while read MACHINE ; do
ping -c 1 $MACHINE
done < machine_list.txt

You probably want to add checks to see if this works.

Something like

@ECHO OFF

SET LogFile=%~n0.log
SET PClist=%~n0.csv
SET Server=exchangeserver

FOR /F "delims=" %%A in (%PClist%) DO PSEXEC \\%%A PING -n 1 exchangeserver && (ECHO OK %%A>>%LogFile%&ECHO OK %%A) ELSE (ECHO ER %%A>>%LogFile%&ECHO ER %%A)

PAUSE

Open in new window

Forgot to mention, that it's a batch file.

Maybe I tried to much to do a one liner out of this.

Try this one

@ECHO OFF

SET LogFile=%~n0.log
SET PClist=%~n0.csv
SET Server=exchangeserver

FOR /F "delims=" %%A in (%PClist%) DO (
	PSEXEC \\%%A PING -n 1 %Server% && (
		ECHO OK %%A>>%LogFile%
		ECHO OK %%A
	) ELSE (
		ECHO ER %%A>>%LogFile%
		ECHO ER %%A
	)
)
