The script below records a ping results every 3 seconds to /var/log/ping.log.  I created this script to detemine if my NIC is losing conectivity with switch at the same time as Asterisk SIP peers are lagging out.  Enjoy!

ping-test.sh:

 
#!/bin/bash

# This script checks ping times every 3 seconds
# usage: ./ping-test.sh [IP ADDRESS]
#
#

while true ;

do

echo "------------------------------------" >> /var/log/ping.log
date >> /var/log/ping.log
echo "------------------------------------" >> /var/log/ping.log
ping -c 1 $1 >> /var/log/ping.log

echo "" >> /var/log/ping.log
echo "" >> /var/log/ping.log

sleep 3s

done

eample using 'nohup' to run in background:

 
[matt@lonocom Desktop]$ nohup ping-test.sh [some.IP.ADDRESS] &
