Ping Test and Packet Loss

Dear FileMakers,

 

I am attempting to write a script to Ping an IP address, perhaps 10 times over, and to output an average response time in ms, and the packet loss as a %age to fields in my DB.

 

In my searches, I found an AppleScript which can be called from within FM and give a response time within a dialogue, but no %age packet loss, in a dialogue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3833490?start=0&tstart=0

 

And that is as far as I've got in quite a long time.

 

Ideally, calling the script from within FM would trigger the ping test and output the time and packet loss to their respective fields, but if this is unfeasible then simply outputting to dialogue would be ok.

 

Thank you in advance, please advise if further information is required to provide useful assistance.

 

Ben
