set is a command shell builtin, and xargs can only run external
commands. Something like this might work:
ping -n 1 whrcsdp05922 |
awk "/TTL/ {print $3}" |
awk -F: "{print \"set pcip=\" $1}" |
cmd
Of course, the variable will be set only in that invocation of cmd, so
whatever depends on the variable should probably be included in the
commands written by the second awk.
