Yes, it is one ip per line. Timestamp can infront of the output.

This is the code without the date. it works fine but no date. I tried to attach the config file but it is not supported.
if ($1)
then
echo "Argument not found: Usage: script filename.conf"
exit
else
awk '{print "ping -i " $2 " " $1 " &"}' $1 | sh
fi | tee -a monitoring.log
wait

Configuration file:

youtube.com 15
yahoo.com

777.777.777.777 15

129.219.110.112 30

999.999.999.999 30

I am supposed to read from a configuration while with a list of ip addresses and then ping those to see if they are reachable or not. I also need to add a timestamp for the results.

if ($1)
then
echo "Argument not found: Usage: script filename.conf"
exit
else
date | awk '{print "ping -i " $2 " " $1 " &"}' $1 | sh
fi | tee -a monitoring.log
wait

i tried to add a timestamp (date) to the code but its not working.
