Batch for "Ping"

Question

Hello

I'm trying to create a batch file (on Windows XP) to perform a "ping" on a computer on my network.
When I run the file, the DOS window opens and the request is executed in an endless loop. What instructions should I add so that the batch runs normally as if it were in the command line?

Hello everyone,

I asked myself the same question as you Moogly_91, 6 years later... I created a file "ping.bat" containing a simple ping command (ping www.google.fr). And when I called my file: I type in the command prompt: "ping" and it loops without me being able to see a single result from the ping command.
The explanation I came up with, after some tests, is that since I can call my file "ping" just as well as "ping.bat", and since this file contains a call to the "ping" command, the file I created calls itself recursively. Hence the "loop" effect.
So I simply renamed my .bat file (to "pingu.bat" for example) and it works as intended :)

Best regards.

Hello, For more info on the ping command, you need to type in a MS-DOS command prompt or equivalent: ping /?

Even with "-w1" the command loops indefinitely. If I press Ctrl-C, the screen freezes and displays on as many lines as the window can hold: the path of the current directory and then the text of the batch command.
In fact, the command is never interpreted. I have Win XP installed in a directory M:\ (Dual boot with Win 98) but I don’t think that has an impact.
Otherwise, the "batch" files containing other commands (like copying files, for example) execute normally.

On the command typed in a DOS window, the results are complete:

- Sending the request
- 4 requests are made with 32 bytes of data, a response time < 1 ms TTL=64
- The statistics.

For the laptop, indeed, adding the "Pause" command is perfect.

It would be better in this form:  M:\Windows\System32\ping.exe -n 5 -w 1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Pause

Finally, it's working!  Thank you very much for your help.  Michel

To prevent your batch from closing at the end, simply add "pause" at the end! ex.: shutdown -s pause

Hello

I'm a little late in responding, but here it is...
Here's how I would place my order:

@echo off set delay=120 :loop ping.exe -n 1 www.google.com ping.exe -n %delay% 127.0.0.1 >NUL: goto loop

Hoping this helps :)
