Need help for simle bash script

Question

Can someone help me with the syntax for a simple bash script that trying to write:

echo ping -c 1
echo nslookup

Basically I want to receive output of one line from the ping and the nslookup information for a domain that I'm checking. Unfortunately I'm unable to get this correctly.

P.s. this is basically the first thing that I'm trying to accomplish in bash.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the provided information on the matter. I felt little ashamed from the nature of my question so I spent little more time to read. The solution that I found is the following:

#!/bin/bash
for i in $*;do
ping -c 1 $i &
nslookup $i &
done
#

' Once I added the scrit to the /bin folder I used the commands:

chmod +x "script name"
dos2unix ""scrit name"

so not I'm able to use it only by typing the name of the script.

Delete ampersand `&` at the end of strings. Use script: `scriptname google.com ya.ru anysite.net` and you will get info about google.com, ya.ru and anysite.net. – zombic Jun 14 '17 at 11:36
Thank you zombic, after I removed the ampersands the session was over after the execution. I was wondering what was causing that. – Veselin Trendafilov Jun 15 '17 at 12:58

Hi i would be better if you elaborate your problem, if you want one line output for ping command filter using head

eg ping www.google.com | head -n 1

or if you are thinking of sending one packet of data to the server

ping -n 1 www.google.com

nslookup www.google.com

and if your are writing Bash Script

#!/bin/bash ping -n 1 www.google.com nslookup www.google.com

save the file give execute permission and run

Please let me know i answered your question
