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 by RunCommand 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:
