simple batch file command. Open CMD, ping ?.?.?.? -t stay open.

[Joe Brainer]

What's the input and is it possible to make it resize itself too? I don't know much about batch files. All I do know is how to make it look like internet explorer and set it to either shut down the pc or open the disk drive and such to really irritate your teacher or pull a prank on a friend.

Batch files are quite literally just the commands that you would normally enter.

Really? At least give an effort to learn the commands.

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
ping -t x.x.x.x

What do you mean by resize? Resize what?

You can change console size with MODE  columns,lines eg.

MODE 80,25

will make your console 80 characters width and 25 character height, but there is no buffer (no scrolling ability)

then you can just ping something with PING command

PING www.google.com

and to not close your console after script ends you can use PAUSE, it will wait until you press any key.

 

Alse, if oyu type @ before command in your bath file, it will not show up, just the result of the command will be printed. If you want to hide all commands you execute, you can start file with:

@echo off

echo off turns off prompts and @ makes this one not show.

 

Edit: actually -t parameter will make ping running and pinging server continuously, so the script will end only with eg. CTRL-C, PAUSE is not needed then.

Not sure if this application still works; hasn't been updated since Win2000.

awesome, getting closer though. Now it repeats the command a bit too quick and it's blurry. whether I use -t or not. Is there a comannd to make it run only one command?
I manually do exactly this. Google dns, good reliable base reading so I know if it's game server, their end. Or my end lag. 
Winkey + R > cmd > /ping 8.8.4.4 -t > enter move to corner of screen after making the window smaller.

You mean you want to ping server less often? If so, you probably would need make a loop to perform one ping and then invoke sleep command to wait between pings.

@echo off
:LOOP
ping www.google.pl -n 1
timeout /T 5 > nul
GOTO LOOP

timeout would normally display countdown, but when you route the output (eg. to null) it won't display anything.

 

I don't know what you mean by blurry, maybe your window is too small and it breaks result?

To adjust command window to your needs you could create shortcut to your bat file and then right click it, pick properties, and you can set whatever you want from font size to window size, so you can set more columns and lines but make font smaller which will reduce window size, but won't affect result formatting.

 

Edit: I made mistake, it is nul not null, null will create file named null.
