The following is a simple bash script to ping a different domain once a second and log the output. By default, it pings #.castledragmire.com, where # is an incrementing number starting from 0.
The script is written for Cygwin (See the PING_COMMAND variable at the top) but is very easily adaptable to Linux.
The log output is: EPOCH_TIMESTAMP DOMAIN PING_OUTPUT
#This uses Window's native ping since the Cygwin ping is sorely lacking in options
#"-n 1"=Only runs once, "-w 3000"=Timeout after 3 seconds
#The grep strings are also directly tailored for Window's native ping
PING_COMMAND=$(
echo 'C:/Windows/System32/PING.EXE -n 1 -w 3000 $DOMAIN |';
echo 'grep -iP "^(Request timed out|Reply from|Ping request could not find)"';
)
i=0 #The subdomain counter
STARTTIME=`date +%s.%N` #This holds the timestamp of the end of the previous loop
#Infinite loop
while true
do
#Get the domain to run. This requires a domain that has a wildcard as a primary subdomain
DOMAIN="$i.castledragmire.com"
#Output the time, domain name, and ping output
echo `date +%s` "$DOMAIN" $(eval $PING_COMMAND)
#If less than a second has passed, sleep up to 1 second
ENDTIME=`date +%s.%N`
SLEEPTIME=$(echo "1 - ($ENDTIME - $STARTTIME)" | bc)
STARTTIME=$ENDTIME
if [ $(echo "$SLEEPTIME>0" | bc) -eq 1 ]; then
sleep $SLEEPTIME
STARTTIME=$(echo "$STARTTIME + $SLEEPTIME" | bc)
fi
#Increment the subdomain counter
let i+=1
done
