Ping command + Time

Hi All!

I need to ping an host with time and date in the reply.

It's possible in some way?

An option or a tool maybe......

Pls help me!

Regards,
Paolo

I presume you mean the host's time and date, rather than the system
from which you send the "ping?"

*) install inetd/xinetd and enable the daytime service.

$ telnet somehost daytime
Trying...
Connected to somehost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Tue Sep 12 12:55:55 PDT 2006
Connection closed by foreign host.

*) install xntpd on the host and send it an NTP query.

Those are "pings" only in the general sense of the term. They are
specifically _not_ ICMP Echo Requests and Replies.

Uhmmmm not exactly......
I will need a similar thing:

09/12/2006 23.06 Reply to 192.168.0.1: byte=32 durata=6ms TTL=64
09/12/2006 23.06 Reply to 192.168.0.1: byte=32 durata=100ms TTL=64
09/12/2006 23.07 Reply to 192.168.0.1: byte=32 durata=100ms TTL=64

Etc....

It's possible?

Thank you for your reply.

Regards,

Paolo

Is that time the time being reported on the system running ping? If
so, then the most straightforward thing to do would be for you to find
some suitable ping source code and add the gettimeofday() call where
it prints the results of the ICMP Echo Reply being received.

Here is something that will be very close. I'm not sure what
the exactly output from your particular ping program is, so I
can't make this match yours as opposed to mine. The script
output I get looks like this:

09/12/2006 15.04 192.168.1.103: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.45 ms

However, the output from my ping, looks like this,

PING 192.168.1.103 (192.168.1.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.103: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.63 ms

And the script *depends* upon the first line *not* starting with
the same word as the other lines, and the lines of interest all
start with "64" and have exactly three words in front of the
data that is to be printed.

If you are not into shell programming, just post a few lines of
your ping output, and I'll be able to change the script to match.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ] ; then exit 1; fi

ping $1 | while read arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 ; do

#
# The first line is a prefered format, the second line
# formats as requested.
#
date=$(/bin/date "+%m/%d/%Y %H.%M")
# date=$(/bin/date "+%Y-%m-%d %H.%M")

case $arg1 in
64*) echo -n "${date} $arg4" ;;
esac
done

Thank you very much! It works!!
But........how can I divide the output row per row?

Thanks again!
