Ping Average Time

[abakhiet]

hi all,
I need to ask, how using bash i can do ping for 10 times and get the Average time to put it in some variable ???

i forget to say, that i will use this time average to make some processes to make a certain job

The following should display the average time;

Code: Select all

ping -qc 10 localhost | awk -F/ '/^rtt/ { print $5 }'


Of course this assumes that your ping outputs like the one I'm using.
If this doesn't seem to work then post the output of "ping -qc 10 localhost"

thanks for your time, but i need to put $5 variable in some new parameter named y...

There are many many many many examples of how to do that, but here it is again;

Code: Select all

myvar="$(ping -qc 10 localhost | awk -F/ '/^rtt/ { print $5 }')"
