I will have the hostnames in a text file as a list.

I was thinking of something I don't know wether gonna work.
it is as follows.

to have a first file that holds the ping command as follows

@echo off
ping.exe -f %1 -out %1 >NULL
goto retry
:done
-----
to have another file that will read from the text file as follows:

@echo off
For /F "tokens=*" %%I in (C:\hostnames.txt) Do Call Ping %%I
::ping is a batch file that contains the ping command.


would it work that way ?

Thanks alot.
