how come sometimes I get the hostname, most of the time it can't

how can I have hostname to print it out?


Host 192.168.63.245 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.63.246 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.63.247 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.63.248 appears to be up.
Host zzz.com (192.168.63.249) appears to be up.
Host 192.168.63.250 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.63.251 appears to be up.

Thank you

EX:  nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254

Thank you

how to use dns lookups

thank you again

To build on what Cameron mentioned, just put in "host $i" in the loop
and check to see it returns anything sane.  If so, you might want to
ping it to see if it's up, but as Cameron said, the system could be down
or off so that's not 100% reliable.

That would be:

  for i in `cat ip.txt`
  do  ping -c 3 $i || { echo "IP $i is not in use."; break; }
  done

Of course, if a machine happens to be down/off, if will look
like its IP is not in use...

You could possibly do something clever with nmap or "ping -b",
but your approach is simple and effective.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that
there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on
the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a
silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles.   - Anthony DeBoer
