Ping w/ Date Stamp

[Julian]

Can someone help me with this?

I need to know how to ping an IP and append/prepend a date/time stamp to the
result and then log to a file. I need to do this ping forever until I stop
the process.

I have been searching the net and found several batch files for this, but
none work?

Thanks

Try this in a batch file:

:START
date/t && time/t && ping -n 10.51.6.2
goto START

and then execute it like this:
c:\> mybatchfile.bat > logfile.txt

Of course, this will fill up your logfile pretty quickly, so you'll have to
insert a pause somehow just before the "goto START" line. My suggestion
would be to write a small program which calls the Win32 Sleep() function (or
find someone who's already done it).

You can use ping to create a delay:

ping -t 6 127.0.0.1 > nul

will create a 5 second delay.
