Hi all :)
I'm working at the medicine faculty in tel-aviv Israel,
and for the last hulf year some computers got "LOST" :)
now one have answer to that phenomenon.
I want to write a program that could "ping" some computer over the
night and if one of the pings stop, i could send email or even use
the modem to allert security.
So i started with that and have a little problems
1) I need that the message from a ping will be alive or not and not
continueing with all the messages follow,
2) how can i ping some one from "c" program and redirect the output
back to the program so i could test the results?
that's for now.
Thanks for any help
