Prasanna Kothari,
Excellent, I've seen the mistake I made with my
program now thanx to yours! Cheers.
One more thing, Is there any module that allows you to
log network errors whilst the program is pinging??
Thanx
Ben

hi,
Have a look at the module Net::Ping for more options.
here's a sample script that pings a host once and prints the result.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use English;
use Net::Ping;
my $host = "";
my $p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
my $val = $p->ping($host);
if(!($val)) {
my @arr = localtime()
Hi all,
I need to set the ping command running for a few hours
on my machine, and record (the exact time/date) then
the ping function fails.
I have tried putting a script together but no joy.
Does anyone have a script like this that I could
please "borrow"?? I need to run the checks this
afterno
