Script to monitor IP's

[gsingh]

I am looking for script which will keep pinging to the list if IP's and if any IP does not respond it should trigger an E-mail.
Is there any script????

Search the HP web for "unreachable device notification" - part of HP SIM.

Hello,

You can have a lot of solution and need some scripting. I hope you can use command as awk, cat, .... but in any way you have to adapt this example to match your needs.
An simple example with use a file wich contains ip adresses (/etc/hosts will be a good idea but need more scripting command to extract good values) :

while read i
do
ping $i -n 1 -m 1 > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo $i
fi
done < list_ip | mailx -s "Ip timeout" email_addr

Where list_ip is a filename wich contains ip or hostname values and email_addr is the recipient address of the destination.

I tested under HP-UX 11.31

Regards,
Roland

Roland's script snippet will do the magic for you but if you do this on a wide spectrum of IP addresses or do it too frequently, your network administrators are going to *LOVE* you for flooding the network with ICMP traffic.

If you are trying to come up with uptime charts, you might want to look into using SNMP monitoring, provided by HP OpenView (NNM product comes to mind straight away) and many other monitoring platforms.

Thanks guys for your suggestion. I used script given by Hakki Aydin and it is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again!!
