Linux Shell Script For Monitoring System Network With Ping Command

This shell script monitors Linux and UNIX systems by pinging specified IP addresses and hostnames. If a ping fails, an email is sent to a designated email address with the subject "Ping failed" and the body containing the hostname that is down and the current date and time. The script defines variables for the hosts to ping, number of ping requests, email subject, and recipient before using ping and mail commands in a for loop to test connectivity and send emails on failures.
