Data Mining/Crawling a Mailing List

[Kasper Adel]

Hello,

A bit off topic but i was looking for a way/tool that could crawl through
a mailing list/news archives and try to filter most common discussions and
things like that, if anyone is aware of such a tool, pls let me know.

Thanks,
Kim

Re: Script to ping, traceroute a destination and record the time

[Kasper Adel]

thanks all for answering.

Traceroute will allow me to find out if during the short period of
application disconnect is whether its an app problem or the network topology
changes and where (which router) the packets couldnt get across.

Cheers,
Kim

Script to ping, traceroute a destination and record the time

[Kasper Adel]

Hi,

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem that is totally random and the one
idea that would help me is to have a bash script that will ping a few
destinations every minute, then do a traceroute to these destinations,
record the time and all that output in a file. then the whole process would
repeat minute.

This way, i'll be able to look at the script at the end of each day and find
out if these destinations were reachable when a problem was reported.

The problem/disconnect happens for a few minutes only.

Can any one help me get a script to do that?

Thanks,
Kim
