    I have something just for you; I use it constantly during assessments
    just for this purpose:

    nmap -vv -n -sP -PS21,22,23,25,53,80,110,135,139,143,445,1433,1521
    $target | grep appears | grep up | cut -d" " -f2 > $outfile

    What this does is "ping" the host via not just ICMP, but also via TCP
    connections on the ports listed. :) It makes great lists and, as you
    know, it saves tons of time when you import a list of active hosts
    instead of just feeding a network.

    Hope you like it. :) Oh, and here's my Nmap "Primer" which has a
    couple other decent nuggets:
