Looking to update and expand the function of a drive mapping script I have for a client with remote users. They connect via a VPN, and many times we find that we much re-run the map-drives batch to reconnect them to their share drives.

I would like to add to that script by a 'go / no-go' process - basically is the computer connected via the VPN.

I found this script, which works decently enough when testing it. However, it requires another file to be added which would have just an IP address in it. I would like to remove that (the in (pcs.txt) part and replace with with the IP address I want to check.

I do see that they use %1 in the HOSTUP and HOSTDOWN

@echo off
@echo off http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9329749/batch-errorlevel-ping-response

setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

for /f %%i in (PCS.TXT) do (
   SET bHOSTUP=0
   ping -n 2 %%i |find "TTL=" > NUL && SET bHOSTUP=1
   IF !bHOSTUP! equ 1 (
      CALL :HOSTUP %%i
   ) else (
      CALL :HOSTDOWN %%i 
   )
)
GOTO EOF

:HOSTUP
echo Host UP %1
GOTO EOF

:HOSTDOWN
echo Host DOWN %1
GOTO EOF

:EOF
exit /B

Here you go:

@echo off
rem tweaked from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9329749/batch-errorlevel-ping-response

setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion


   SET bHOSTUP=0
   ping -n 2 192.168.0.24 |find "TTL=" > NUL && SET bHOSTUP=1
   IF !bHOSTUP! equ 1 (
      CALL :HOSTUP 
   ) else (
      CALL :HOSTDOWN 
   )

GOTO EOF

:HOSTUP
echo Host UP 
GOTO EOF

:HOSTDOWN
echo Host DOWN
GOTO EOF

:EOF
exit /B
