I was thinking as soon as there address starts to ping

---

code:

---

 
$TO = you@company.com
$FROM = you@company.com
$SUB = "Login Alert From @WKSTA By @USERID"
$IMP = "high"
$MSG = "User: @USERID has logged into workstation: @WKSTA."

if @WKSTA = "COMPUTER1" OR @WKSTA = "COMPUTER2"
	$ShellString='@ScriptDir\postie.exe -host:smtp.company.com -to:$TO -from:$FROM -replyto:$FROM -s:"$SUB" -msg:"$MSG" -$IMP'
	Shell $ShellString
endif

code:

---

Break ON
$sIPAddress="176.4.16.23"
While "true"
   Shell '%COMSPEC% /C ping -n 1 ' + $sIPAddress + ' | find "TTL=" >/dev/null'
   If @ERROR=0
      $Null=MessageBox("IP Address " + $sIPAddress + " is responding","It's Alive!")
      Exit 0
   EndIf
   Sleep(60)
Loop

code:

---

Break ON
$sIPAddress="thehost.acme.com"
While "true"
   Shell '%COMSPEC% /C ping -n 1 ' + $sIPAddress + ' | find "TTL=" >/dev/null'
   If @ERROR=0
      $Null=MessageBox("IP Address " + $sIPAddress + " is responding","It's Alive!")
      Exit 0
   EndIf
   Sleep(60)
Loop

Adn this will put you into a continous loop: While "true"

It's supposed to

The "Exit 0" will exit the script once the ping succeeds, so the alert will only appear once. If the "Exit 0" is removed, the script will message (or beep or whatever) every 60 seconds.

AzzerShaw, the error you are getting probably means one of three things:
1) You don't have "ping" in your PATH
2) You don't have "find" in your PATH
3) You don't have %COMSPEC% set correctly

code:

---

Break on 
$Null=""
$sIPAddress="ipaddress"
While "true"
 Shell "%comspec% /C ping -n 1 ipaddress"
 If @ERROR=0
  $Null=MessageBox("IP Address" + $sIPAddress + " is responding!", "Your box title")
  PLAY "v:\asterix.wav"
  Exit 0
 EndIf
 Sleep(60)
Loop

---

code:

---

PLAY "v:\asterix.wav"
$Null=MessageBox("IP Address" + $sIPAddress + " is responding!", "Your box title")
