Detect the target host network whether can ping through or not(shell script)

ref : http://www.jb51.net/article/33772.htm

# cat ping.sh

#! /bin/bash

:<<!
The purpose of this shell script is to detect whether can ping through
the specified host or not. And will record the results in $filename and
$badFileName.
!

filename="/home/XXX/XXXX.txt";
badFileName="/home/xxxx/xxxx.txt"

if [ -f $filename ]; then
    rm -fr $filename;
    touch $filename;
else
    touch $filename;
fi

if [ -f $badFileName ]; then
    rm -fr $badFileName;
    touch $badFileName;
else
    touch $badFileName;
fi
