I see. Well, this batch file will accomplish that. It'll only give you a timestamp after each ping command finishes though. Still, that'll give you a timestamp every x seconds, 4 by default. Might be better to make that every 10 seconds or 60 or something. Just change the -n 10 to however many you want between timestamps. Just remember this will also contain the four lines of ping statistics for each repetition.
:start echo.|time ping -n 10 yahoo.com goto start put that in some file called pingstats.cmd or pingstats.bat and run it, it'll keep going until you Ctrl-C it. I guess you'll actually want a log of its output too, so you'd just redirect it to some text file. pingstats > pinglogs.txt Then to stop it you just Ctrl-C and then hit Y to answer yes to the 'terminate batch' question that you can't see. You can't see it because of the redirection of output to the text file.
