I would tend to say that standard windows scripting commands are a bit basic, so I knocked up a batch file that uses a few GnuWin32 commands, which are ports of GNU tools to windows: ====================================================================== @echo off :loop SET hostname=whateverhostyoulike ping -n 1 %HOSTNAME% | grep timed IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 ( gnudate ) sleep 10 goto loop ====================================================================== So, this requires: 'grep' from the 'grep' package http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm 'date' and 'sleep' from the 'coreutils' package (I renamed date.exe to gnudate.exe so as not to conflict with the windows command) http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm The dlls the above require. I can send you a 902KB zip file with everything if you like.
