Re: any solution to ping with IPv6

okay, fmonitor does the trick: here is my script (sorry, it is a quick 
and dirty one, any suggestion is welcome)

Thierry.


#!/usr/bin/ksh

log="/var/log/check.log"

while [ 1 -eq 1 ] ; do

 hostlist="r1 r2 r3 r4"
 for host in $hostlist ; do
  ping6 -c 1 -w 1 $host > /dev/null
  result="$?"
  if [ "$result" -eq 0  ]; then
      echo "$host:OK" >>"$log".tmp
  else
      echo "$host:ERROR:ALERT" >>"$log".tmp
  fi
 done
 rm -f "$log".old
 mv "$log" "$log".old
 mv "$log".tmp "$log"
 sleep 1
done
