From my tests, do shell script won't return an error, even if ping

Realize that this has nothing to do with "do shell script". ping(1)
always returns a status of 0, meaning it didn't fail [1]. "do shell
script" faithfully reports this. One might consider this bogus, but
it's ping's problem, not "do shell script"'s.

anything else.
