I can’t figure out how to write a simple ping log. I only need either the ms value or the words “no connection”.
I have myping=$(ping -c 1 10.0.10.1)
. I only need the value between “time=
” and “ ms
“, like 3.151 from “time=3.151 ms
“.
I could use awk, but then I get a lot of blank lines and I don’t know how to get rid of them:
$ awk -F 'time=| ms' '{print $2}' <<< "$myping"
3.151
And then, how can I insert “no connection”, when the ping result doesn’t contain a ms value?
Thanks a lot!
