in thread Ping and Tracert

You get the OS name in $^O so all you need to do is (pseudocode) 

print "The OS is $^O";

if ( $^O =~ /Linux/ ) {
    &linux_ping;
} 
elsif ( $^O =~ /Solaris/ ) {
    &sun_ping;
} 
else { 
    die "Get a real OS!\n";
}

I don't know what $^O holds on Solaris so you will have to tweak the matches to suit.

    Ok, I can ping Linux X number of times using -c, but Solaris? What's the param for that. I've been searching through the man pages and can't find it.

    Thanks.

      Sorry, can't help. You could always fall back on a loop &ping for 0..4
