I am trying to make a script that will ping a computer every few minutes
and run a program if there is no answer.
I was thinking about making a C program to do the same thing. it would
just do a :
system("ping blazay > datafile ")
then it would read datafile to see if the ping worked.
But if some one has a script or C program that could do this I would
appreciate the source, or if you could just tell me how to do it.
