@kbnetguy, this command should work on a Mac: dig +short www.triggercmd.com | tail -n1 I included the tail -n1 to use only the first line in case the host name returns multiple IP's. You probably know this, but to assign the result to an environment variable you can do this: export IP=$(dig +short www.triggercmd.com | tail -n1) echo $IP If you must use ping, let me know. I had that command figured out for Linux, but Mac's ping and grep are different.

@kbnetguy, I answered here: https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/821/create-trigger-to-use-macos-terminal-to-ping-domain
