Well, first off, you are going to want to use RunCommand to do this:
Having said that however, that ping command still gives an error:
When executed by the plugin. I suspect it has to do with the foreeach{} array command. The other issue you are going to run into is that your command is never-ending, which is going to be a problem as well. You simply can't have a never-ending repetitive command executed by a Rainmeter plugin. The "value" is not returned until the external command "finishes", which this never does. Not quite sure how to correct this.
This simplified version does work, so I suspect there is a solution, I'm just not good enough as Powershell to help much...
Returns:
