[SOLVED] How to stop fping conditionally

massy · 01-21-2014, 04:22 AM

I've used fping to test my wireless modem connection every 10 minites:
fping -ga 192.168.40.0/24 > a.txt

I want to stop it in a shell script, if it could ping even one of them!and doesn't test others.
Is there any way to do it?

fping -ga 192.168.40.0/24 > a.txt
ret=$?
if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then
exit 0
fi

I don't really know fping and when it returns. Else got with something like this

Quote:

for i in $(seq 1 254); do
fping -ga 192.168.40.$i >> a.txt
ret=$?
if [ $ret -eq 0 ]; then
exit 0
fi
done

I did the second part by ping to check:
for i in {1..24}
do
ping -c 1 192.168.40.$i > /home/farid/spt/2
ret=$?
if [ $ret -eq 0 ];then
exit 0
fi
done
when I run it, It doesn't do any thing, and when I press Ctrl+c, It isn't stopped!

Also add a timeout to ping -w 5 for 5 seconds timeout. Just it crtl+c many times
