A batch file is a text file containing a series of
commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. If you want to
have a shortcut to quickly and continuously ping a website to verify that it is
online or for other similar reasons, you can do so by placing the
"ping" command inside of a batch file.
- Click "Start," Browse All Program> Accessories Click "notepad" and press "Enter" to open the Notepad utility.
- Type "ping -t www.addresstoping.com" inside the text file on a single line, without quotes, where "www.addresstoping.com" is the site you wish to ping.
- Click "File" then click "Save," then select "All files" as the "Save as type" option.
- Save the file with the name "pinger.bat" -- the file extension "bat" is the batch file extension.
- Close Notepad and double-click the batch file to run it.
