I'm quite well, thanks. I've just been extremely busy here at Cornerstone.
(Gotta get rid of some of these extra "hats" somehow...) I don't have time
to read the list much anymore, just kind of scan it now and then. I was
quite surprised to see my name mentioned, in fact.
The PING command file went through several revisions after I first posted
it, since I received some suggestions back. Here's the latest version (note
that it hasn't been updated since 1999, and probably should be!).

parm node="" packets=5 pktsize=128
#
# PING.XEQ.SYS v1.4 10-20-1999 by Patrick Santucci
# See Revision History at end of file.
#
# This file is a front end for the two PING utilities provided by HP.
# It determines whether you are pinging by node name or IP address and
# calls the appropriate utility based on that.
#
if "!node" = "" then
# Let me explain how this works...
echo
echo Syntax:
echo
echo PING !<Nodename_or_Address!> [# of packets] &
[packet size (bytes)]
echo (default: 5) &
(default: 128)
echo
echo Examples:
echo
echo PING hewey 3 256 sends 3 packets of 256 bytes each
echo PING 10.60.240.11 sends 5 packets of 128 bytes each
echo PING morg.from.org 20 64 sends 20 packets of 64 bytes each
echo
return
endif
if not numeric(word("!node",".")) then
#
# This is a node name. We'll use NETTOOL.NET.SYS and assume the
# system is using some sort of name resolution service, like
# external DNS or a HOSTS (/etc/hosts) file.
#
# Build a temp file to use as input to NETTOOL, in case the
# node name is not resolved.
echo quit >pinginpt
#
# Now run NETTOOL and see if we can PING!
nettool.net.sys 'ping;size !pktsize;number !packets;&
ping !node;quit' <pinginpt
echo
else
#
# This is a numeric IP address, hopefully a valid one.
# We'll use PING.NET.SYS because it's quicker and easier.
# Include instructions on stopping in case user sends 1000
# packets or something equally heinous.
#
echo
echo *** Type Ctrl+Y to stop ***
run ping.net.sys;info="!node, !packets, !pktsize"
endif
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# Revision History:
#
# v1.4 10-20-99 - Fixed an error introduced in v1.2 where an invalid
# node name (i.e. one that isn't resolved by DNS or
# /etc/hosts file) left you stranded inside NETTOOL
# with the error "Rest of commands ignored". Got around
# this by using redirection of an additional "quit"
# command in addition to the stacked INFO string.
# v1.3 10-15-99 - Changed POS() construction to use WORD() string
# function per Jeff Vance's suggestion.
# v1.2 10-14-99 - Changed NETTOOL portion to use stacked INFO= with
# implied run instead of redirected input, per
# Greg Stigers' suggestion.
# - Decided I better include revision history in the
# command file since I'm incorporating other people's
# ideas.
# v1.1 10-05-99 - Consolidated PINGIP and PINGDNS files into
# the calling file, PING. Better to have only
# one file to maintain. :-)
# - Added syntax help for the CI-challenged.
# v1.0 10-01-99 - Initial command file(s). Don't need to check the
# 'packets' and 'pktsize' parms because the HP-supplied
# programs do that just fine. :-)
