Hint: ping tells you with an exit status of 0 that all's dandy, so
perhaps you don't need the grep. Ex.
# 8 sec deadline
if ping -c 2 -w 4 <your reference host> ; then
echo "yay"
else
echo "nay"
fi
Add option -q and others to taste.
Of course, if you are just displaying (and not firing off other scripts)
grep is fine :-)
