simple script with input file 1

[mkapsak]

Hi,

I have a file called allclientindexes. This file contains a list of servers that I want to ping to see if they are alive. I want to save the results into another file. Can someone show me what the script should look like? Running on HP-UX 11.23.

Thanks...

This assumes that allclientindexes has only one server name per line:

#!/bin/ksh

while read line
do
  ping "$line" >> outputfile.txt
done < allclientindexes

Thanks olded, but it only pings the first entry in the allclientindexes file only.

Check that your allclientindexes file is unix-friendly, and change it with dos2unix if not.

I had some help from internal staff and got it working. Thanks for the replies!
