title: Linux bash script that pings multiple IP addresses from a file
body: <p>I have a file containing multiple hosts and IPs in the format above:</p>
  
  <pre><code>alpha, 192.168.1.1
  beta,  192.168.1.2
  gamma, 192.168.1.3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to create a script that says something like:</p>
  
  <p>"Pinging hostname alpha"</p>
  
  <pre><code>ping 192.168.1.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and jump to the next ip in the list.
  I don't want the entire script, just some suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Alex</p>
