Hi, I just created the simple ping command as below in the batch file and scheduled it in Windows task scheduler. The out put is it only stores the out[ut once and it is not appending the result. Can you help me here. ping -n 8 192.168.3.100 >> test.xls

Not obvious how that will help. But I'll stay tuned. ===================================== Life is too important to be taken seriously. M2
