Ping IP doesn't work

[MantasJ]

Thank You guys. I've tried the script, but now it always logs that the IP is connected even though it is on another network. I don't understand, if there is something I'm doing wrong? Here is the script:

Code:

function ping(ip)
  local res = os.execute('ping -c 2 -W 5 ' .. ip)
  return res == 0
end

ping('192.168.100.222')

if ping then
  log('Connected')
  log(ping)
  --grp.checkwrite('0/0/9', true)
else
  log('Disconected')
  --grp.checkwrite('0/0/9', false)
end

If I ping this IP from cmd the request times out and it is disconected, but if I run this script it says it is connected. Maybe I have to somehow decode the data from "res"?

This is what logs gives me:

Code:

Ping IP 08.08.2019 11:04:40
* string: Connected
Ping IP 08.08.2019 11:04:40
* function: 0xb6b9d158
