Bash Script to Ping Host and make directory - bash

Question

I am trying to write a script that will allow me to
ping hosts from a file, if it fails on a host move on to the next one and maybe output the failed ones.
On the successfully pinged hosts make a directory. From the host running this
script. It should be something like this
#!/bin/bash
prod.txt=$(/usr/local/bin/prod.txt)
for hosts in $(prod.txt); do
I am having issues getting the ping part of it to work
i have the make directory of
mkdir -p /var/db/kds >/dev/null 2>&1
Thanks!

Here's an example that you can adapt to your needs:
$ cat /tmp/hosts.txt
10.10.0.1
10.10.0.2
10.10.0.3
10.10.0.4
10.10.0.5
10.10.0.6
$ cat /tmp/run.sh
#!/bin/sh
for host in $(cat /tmp/hosts.txt)
do
if ping -c 2 $host >/dev/null 2>&1; then
mkdir -p /tmp/path/$host
else
echo "$host is down"
fi
done
$ ./run.sh
10.10.0.2 is down
10.10.0.3 is down
10.10.0.4 is down
$ ls /tmp/path/
10.10.0.1 10.10.0.5 10.10.0.6
