Using Ping in a Batch FIle

[Joe]

I am looking for some help with creating a batch file to ping IP
numbers and giving options if the IP fails and if the IP is good.
For example ping 127.0.0.1 and if it is good it offers to ping the
next IP 127.0.0.2 and then if that one is bad it would run a batch
file saying to call tech support.
So if anyone can help me create a batch file to do this it would be
great.
Thanx in advance

Hi Joe,

For a "closed" range of IP addresses use FOR /L:

FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,254) DO CALL :Check 10.0.0.%%A
FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,254) DO CALL :Check 10.0.1.%%A
GOTO:EOF

Otherwise, create a file called addresses.lst and use FOR /F:

FOR /F %%A IN (addresses.lst) DO CALL :Check %%A
GOTO:EOF

The :Check subroutine could be something like this:

:Check
PING %1 | FIND "TTL=" >NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (CALL WarnTechSupport.bat) ELSE (ECHO %1 is on
the air)
GOTO:EOF

(Command lines are indented by a TAB or 5 spaces, if not the line is
the continuation of the previous line).
This batch file does NOT stop at every IP address that's OK, if you
want that replace the "ELSE part".
Good luck,
