| 276033 | 2004-09-27 08:48:00 | I want to create a shortcut to ping a site in command prompt. eg, when you open XP command prompt, type "ping www.google.co.nz" Can I turn it into a shortcut or something so I can just click on it, and it carries out the ping command? |

Or just create a shortcut to the ping executable and chuck the host you want to ping directly in the shortcut. You may want to put on the -t argument so it keeps on going rather than just doing four pings and then closing off. ie: ping -t www.somerandomhost.com That way you can close it when you're ready, not after 4 attempts. |
