RE: [hlds] OT: Time-stamped ping.
I'm pretty lost when it comes to scripting. Basically I would like the ping -t command to have a timestamp in front or between pings. I have searched for it on Google etc. But either they try to get paid for a tool or it gets too complicated.

Re: [hlds] OT: Time-stamped ping.
I just gave you the simplest of the simplest. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here. How is this timestamp going to be of any use to you? What is going to issue your ping command? If you're simply typing it in manually, well, look at a clock! ;) If you're using some script or batch file to run the command then I just gave you the commands to put in your script or batch file. I think it's pretty safe to say that ping -T isn't really what you're thinking it is, and isn't what you want. If you want to know what the time was/is when you issue a command, the simplest way to do that is to issue a command just before/after that displays the current date/time. In win32 you can do that with the command I showed earlier, a echo.|time will display the current time. In linux/*nix you can display that with the date command.

Re: [hlds] OT: Time-stamped ping.
I see. Well, this batch file will accomplish that. It'll only give you a timestamp after each ping command finishes though. Still, that'll give you a timestamp every x seconds, 4 by default. Might be better to make that every 10 seconds or 60 or something. Just change the -n 10 to however many you want between timestamps. Just remember this will also contain the four lines of ping statistics for each repetition. :start echo.|time ping -n 10 yahoo.com goto start put that in some file called pingstats.cmd or pingstats.bat and run it, it'll keep going until you Ctrl-C it. I guess you'll actually want a log of its output too, so you'd just redirect it to some text file. pingstats pinglogs.txt Then to stop it you just Ctrl-C and then hit Y to answer yes to the 'terminate batch' question that you can't see. You can't see it because of the redirection of output to the text file.

Re: [hlds] OT: Time-stamped ping.
yeah, would be a lot nicer to get it on one line so you could just grep for the timeouts, rather than having to search manually for them and take note of the nearest 'time' command. This stuff may be of interest. I don't know how simple it is to get it up and running, as I've only just found it now, but it might do the trick for you. http://www.grzyby.pl/monitor/tools.htm http://www.grzyby.pl/monitor/index.htm http://www.grzyby.pl/monitor/ping.htm On 8/26/05, Alexander Kobbevik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you, Clayton.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- This .gz contains a win32 simple ping program which pings as fast as it can, concatenating a timestamp in the form [%H:%M:%S] to the start of the echo response. This will generate (on a lan) VERY large logs in a very short time (it's pretty damn fast). Over a 100ms latency, you're still looking at around a 2mb log per hour. Adding a small delay to prevent this kind of log flooding is easy, but the next question then is, how long do you want it?
