Help with pinging servers, log failures

[SPM]

Hey guys looking for some help on the below script. So here is what i'm trying to do, Ping 20-30 PC from a text file, Output the Time Out to a file.

Here is what I have, which works just stuck on the Timeout section.

For /f %%A in (C:\Document.txt) Do Ping -n 2

Now if I do For /f %%A in (C:\Document.txt) Do Ping -n 2 >>PC.txt

This will output every response which I only need the PC's that are offline. Been playing with For /f %%A in (C:\Document.txt) Do Ping -n 2 |findstr Reply') >>PC.txt


Any advice?

try this:

Code: Select all

For /f %%A in (C:\Document.txt) Do Ping -n 2 %%A 2>&1 || >>PC.txt

try this:

Code: Select all

For /f %%A in (C:\Document.txt) Do Ping -n 2 %%A 2>&1 || >>PC.txt 

thanks Endoro but no luck.

[Endoro]

test this, also with your PC's

Code: Select all

ping google.com -n 1 && echo success || echo FAILURE
ping google.gov -n 1 && echo success || echo FAILURE

[foxidrive]

Code: Select all

@echo off
For /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "C:\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

@foxidrive, can a computer name/URL contain white space?

[foxidrive]

No. It has to encode spaces as %20

I think a computername is only alphanumeric

[SPM]

Code: Select all

@echo off
For /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "C:\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt 

Perfect this is just want i need it.

Since i'm here to learn let ask >nul 1 | What does have mean?

[Endoro]

>nul 1 | What does have mean?

- >nul = send standard output to "nul"
- || = in case of an error do

[SPM]

Code: Select all

@echo off
For /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "C:\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt 

One last question, the above command works great pulling the document from the local C: Drive. Having problems running it from a Network Shared. For /f "delims=" %%a in ('"\\Server name\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

What am I missing?

[Squashman]

the TYPE command.

[SPM]

the TYPE command.

@echo off
Should I do Type \\Sever path\ For /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "C:\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

Compare the code foxidrive gave you to the code you are trying to use. Can you not SEE where the TYPE command is!

Code: Select all

For /f "delims=" %%a in (' type "C:\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

For /f "delims=" %%a in ('"\\Server name\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

For /f "delims=" %%a in ('"\\Server name\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt

As you can tell in my earlier post ( For /f "delims=" %%a in ('"\\Server name\Document.txt" ') do Ping -n 2 %%a >nul || echo %%a offline>>PC.txt) that does not work. I can output to the server but can't have it call for the document.

What is the different between these two commands? It should be pretty obvious. HINT: TYPE is MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!

' type "C:\Document.txt" '
'"\\Server name\Document.txt" '
