System ping Linux questions
I am trying to write a function to do a ping on a known IP address and then parse the output to see if "1 packet transmitted, 1 received..." is printed.
I am new to this kind of programming and these commands and using Linux.
I am thinking something along the lines of
system("ping IP_ADDR_DEFINE -c 1");
to start with , but don't to where to go from here to save the output and parse the output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
