<sxh plain;> C:\>TMSS10Ping -P 443 tapetrack.ironmountain.com 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=1 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=2 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=3 time=58.00 ms 44 bytes from 216.229.153.104: seq=4 time=57.00 ms — tapetrack.ironmountain.com TMSS10Ping statistics — 4 packets transmitted
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.00/57.75/58.00 ms </sxh> This example sends an email if a TapeTrack Server is down.

This example sends ping request via a proxy server, creates a trace file and displays the trace file.
<sxh bash;> set PROXYIP=192.168.1.10 set PROXYPORT=3128 set PROXYUSER= set PROXYPW= set TAPETRACKIP=server.databank.co.il set TAPETRACKPORT=443 set TMSSAPILOGDIR=%TEMP% set TMSSSERVERPROXY=%PROXYUSER%:-%PROXYPW%@%PROXYIP%:%PROXYPORT% del /Q “%TMSSAPILOGDIR%\TMSSAPILOG-*.txt” TMSS10Ping -P %TAPETRACKPORT% %TAPETRACKIP% type “%TMSSAPILOGDIR%\TMSSAPILOG-*.txt” pause </sxh>
