ping

[Steve Meier]

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? What I want to do is look
at each line that comes in on a ping. Eventually I will add regexp that
will extract what I want out, but I am not going to worry that until I
get the basics working. I know this is how you would go about it if it
was a file that you wanted to look at line by line.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


$ping = "/usr/sbin/ping";

open (PING, "$ping $desthost ");

while (<PING>)
        {
        printf $_;
        }
close(PING);
