I have a problem with fping or I dont know which parametr I have to use, becouse my result are diffent in many times:

root@deb0-manager:~# fping -a -q -g 10.6.0.0/24
10.6.0.1
10.6.0.104
10.6.0.114
10.6.0.115
10.6.0.116
10.6.0.184
root@deb0-manager:~# fping -a -q -g 10.6.0.0/24
10.6.0.1
10.6.0.104
root@deb0-manager:~# fping -a -q -g 10.6.0.0/24
10.6.0.1
10.6.0.104
10.6.0.184

The first is how it is in reality…
Have I change some parameters of fping? How? Please help me. Thnaks

for i in `seq 1 255`; do echo -n “192.168.1.$i – ” >> scan_lan.txt ;fping -n 192.168.1.$i >> scan_lan.txt; done

(need improvement ;p)

Thanks

Thanx for all your replys.

cheers,

than

rm /root/livestb.* && echo "File removed successfully"

By the way, i recommend you not to make scripts with root powers (uhm, quite dangerous).

Thanks

to have fping read from a file, do this:

fping -f /path/to/file

to save the ouput of fping to a file, do this:

fping -f /path/to/file > /path/to/save/to

(the “>” can be used to redirect the terminal output of any command-line command to a file)

fping -f /root/stb > /root/livestb.`date +%d%I%M`

“fping -f /file/with/list/of/ips/to/ping > results/of/fping”

(i.e. – you need 2 files –

1 – the list of ip addresses to ping
2 – the output of the fping command)

I am using below script my problem is here,i put this script in crontab to run daily 3 times and move the file “stb” to desktop of another system in the network by using ” mv /root/stb /root/livestb.`date +%d%I%M` && scp livestb.* root@192.168.0.20:/root/Desktop” as a script but final output on the desktop is empty file.

#!/bin/sh
#
#Script to ping all the hosts
#
rm /root/livestb.* && echo “File removed successfully” #To remove previously run file
fping /root/stb
echo ” ***completed*** ”
exit 0

Please can u correct me.

thanks in advance.
