Shelling... the 'system' command and 'Ping'

I have the problem that shelling in vb.net is not working for me at this
point.

I am trying to make a graphical application to netsend (multiple) PCs on
the network(notwork ) and to ping to check if they are online or not.

code like:
shell("ping bob >> ""C:\hello.txt" "",windowstate. hidden[or whatever],
false)

does not work... nor does:
shell("ping bob >> C:\hello.txt",w indowstate.hidd en[or whatever], false)

wheras that is a perfectly acceptable string to feed the command
prompt...

I have a C++ class tht runs the C 'system' command on that string, which
works perfectly, but then i can't supress the console window, which
raises its ugliness in an unacceptable manner.

any help?

Try using the Process.Start method to start ping and then you redirect the
output stream to a file.

I am trying to "ping" a remote host in my C++/Redhat Linux code to check whether that host is connected or not. if (0 == system("ping -w 2 192.168.0.2)) But, in both cases (connected/disconnected), system call returns 0. Can someone please show what I am doing wrong? How to check the actual result of the ping status using C++ on Redhat linux ? Thanks in advance.

(Webmaster: sorry, I posted this first at the General Software Engineering category, but I think this goes here) I'm using Visual Basic with Web Forms on .NET 2003 and I'm experiencing a very weird problem: When the user presses a button, the web application starts a shell process to decompress a *.gz file with gzip.exe. All ok for now, I get some data and send formatted data to the client browser.
