Looking For a Script That Can Do The Following

Looking For a Script That Can Ping IP and Do The Following:

At script start-up it's only looking for a ping failure

step 1 - if success, Don't copy anything

step 2 ping failure, copy file A to folder

(failure 4 times before it copies file A to folder, if success before the 4th failure, go back to step 1)

After ping failure script is only looking for a ping success

step 3 - if failure, Don't copy anything

step 4 ping success, copy file B to folder

(success 4 times before it copies file B to folder, if failure before the 4th success, go back to step 3)

After ping success the script needs to go back to step 1 and look for ping failure,

I don't need the script to keep doing step 4 over and over because the server is now responding.

i can use it with a very dirty work around,
but i am looking for a clean way to do it with just one script.

Well, in linux is easy, and windows, but it will be 2 scripts, not just 1

Use monit, it will ping and when a specific rule is met. Do a task.

I meant 1 for windows, 1 for Linux.

Why do you need 2 scripts? A quick example for linux:

#!/bin/bash
ip=222.222.222.222
test=$(ping -c 1 $ip > /dev/null; echo $?)
case "$test" in
0)  #success
    cp /folder/b /folder/a
    ;;
*)  #failure
    cp /folder/c /folder/a
    ;;
esac

@SegmentationFault

it will work with a few modifications, i can do what i need using your script

to exec a "sed" command

#!/bin/bash
ip=222.222.222.222
test=$(ping -c 1 $ip > /dev/null; echo $?)
case "$test" in
0)  #success
    cd /path/to/file/folder/  && 
    find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sed -i 's/search_for_string_A/replace_with_string_B/' {} \;
    ;;
*)  #failure
    cd /path/to/file/folder/  && 
    find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sed -i 's/search_for_string_B/replace_with_string_A/' {} \;
    ;;
esac

thank you!

I have a simple ping monitor script that does a task when a service is down, and does another when the service comes back up. Perhaps you can modify it to your needs.
