I have Open unix calderal 8.0 runing on pentium 2.4ghz with 1gb ram.i need a script to perform an auto mounting of a partion on my hard disk and a script to automatically ping 20 ip addresses. Please i am just few mount old in the os Thanks in advance

if [ `mount | grep -c mountpoint` -eq 0 ] ; then mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir fi The implementation of ping vary with the platform. Check the manpages for options. Some version allow a pattern broadcast. for host in \ 1.2.3.4 \ 1.2.3.5 \ 1.2.3.6 \ 1.2.3.7 \ 1.2.3.8 \ 1.2.3.9 ; do ping -c 1 $host >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo "$host is reachable" >> ping.log else echo "$host is unreachable" >> ping.log fi done

Thanks for your reponse,i still need assistance on how to make this command line become sript or i am going to do it as ifi want to batch file in window. Thanks in advance.
