Devil in the details.

Was trying to get a list of systems up on the network.  Pingall.sh would not work at all. It was driving me nuts. So I went to another system and it worked. 

$ cat pingall.sh
a=""
for i in {1..254}
do
ping 192.168.1.$i -c1 -w1 -v  | grep "icmp_seq=1"
done


$ ./pingall.sh
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.623 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.32: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.113 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=4.77 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.125: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.26 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.149: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.306 ms

Went back to the original system and decided to do just one ping.

$ ping -c 1 192.168.1.32
PING 192.168.1.32 (192.168.1.32) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.32: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.363 ms

--- 192.168.1.32 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.363/0.363/0.363/0.000 ms

After looking at it about a thousand times, it finally hit me. The difference was reg vs seq. So I changed the batch file and all was well,

$ cat pingall.sh
a=""
for i in {1..254}
do
ping 192.168.1.$i -c1 -w1 -v  | grep "icmp_req=1"
done

$ ./pingall.sh
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.527 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.32: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.293 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.99: icmp_req=1 ttl=255 time=5.08 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.125: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.264 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.149: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.068 ms

Whew....  details details details.......
