Thanks for the help...
but I want to check the exit code....
How can I access the exit code and assign the exit code value to a variable.
I tried using the command
var=`ping -c1 -w3 202.54.1.30`
echo $var
This still outputs the regulr ping output | if my eth crd is down...it still o/p's
"connect : Network is unreachable" directly to the monitor,without assigning the Exit Code value to the variable.

Foundation of a good theory is to invent it and keep it open for questioning.
