Make Your CMD Pinger More Attractive!!! [PINGER FOR BUBU, HSS, EXPAT, & OTHER VPNs]

My CMD Pinger with reply background color indicator!

We are using ping command to monitor the networks, sometimes we have to monitor multiple IP address with continuous ping in different windows. Normal command line is with a black colour background and white text. But it will be better to show a red window if the Request timed out. And the default success pings with a green background. Here is the script to do the ping with color output results.

Color Legend:

Green - with reply

Red - request timed out

What is happening in this Batch file?

Prompting an IP address and set to a variable named %IP%, and its pinging once with 32 bytes of data. If it is failed the background color will change to red. And display “Request timed out” then wait for some title . We used a self ping for sleep function. The code put it in loop so it will ping continuously.
