Help with Ping script for RRD

[SupaRice]

So, I'm setting up cricket (basically like MRTG) for some simple network performance trending. I've used it before, but a long time ago. And I've lost a script that a friend wrote for me to measure latency.

I basically need to be able to do this:

latency.sh www.google.com

And get output that looks like this:

45.23 48.94 56.7 0

Which would be minimum, average, maximum round trip times, followed by % of packet loss.

I'm able to do this, but don't know how to write a script that will clean up the output:

#ping -l 10 -c 10 -n -q 172.20.227.1
PING 172.20.227.1 (172.20.227.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 172.20.227.1 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.299/2.362/2.451/0.065 ms, pipe 10

Can anyone help me? I'm sure this is a pretty easy thing to do, but I can't figure it out. I've been working on it for a while and looking at scripting guides, but nada...

ping -c4 yahoo.com | grep '/'  | awk '{split($4,t,"/"); print t[1], t[2], t[3], t[4]}'

produces...

77.310 79.124 83.042 2.285

Thanks, is there a way to pick up the loss percentage on the other line?

For instance, I took what you did and put this into ping.sh

ping -c10 -l10 $1 | grep '/'  | awk '{split($4,t,"/"); print t[1], t[2], t[3]}'

That gives me the min / avg / max from the second line of output, but I need to pull the % of loss from the first line too.

Thanks for your help!
