I need to write a bash shell script that will check a range of IP addresses to see if a host is alive at that address.I also need to list the IP numbers of those that are alive, and provide a summary showing the number of  alive and not alive IP addresses. The range of addresses will all be in a Class C network. I'm having problems figuring out how to pass through each arg and get it pinging each individual address within the range.Below is a sample run of the script I intend to create. $ programName 192.168.42 18 22 Checking: 192.168.42.18 19 20 21 22 Live hosts:  192.168.42.21  192.168.42.22 There were:  2 alive hosts  3 not alive hosts  found through the use of 'ping'.
