i have seen that code but iam confused how to store the result in to a
file when the result of ping is "Request time out" and can you tell me
how my program can give defaultly ping for every 5 minutes with out
even my intentiuon, and it must store each time even the result in to
a file.
so, can you guide me to achieve this requirement.

If you want to both see the result and put it in a file, you
can pipe the output of ping to a file by using "tee".

In bash you do it like this: $ping 192.168.1.10 | tee ping_output.log

For your second question, try to use a separate thread in your
program. Put it to sleep and wake it up as you need.
