Pinger.py
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
A ping tool that sits in your system tray
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Currently for Ubuntu only
|
||
|
|
- (Requires Python, GTK, and AppIndicator3)
|
||
|
|
- **Contributions welcome to expand to other OSes!**
|
||
|
|
- Saves your sanity when the wifi sucks
|
||
|
|
- Doesn't clutter up your screen with ping windows
|
||
|
|
- Lets you know when pings fail instead of silently failing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Usage (in Ubuntu):**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open the Terminal program and enter the following commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd ~
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/zyphlar/pinger.git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open the Startup Applications program and click Add.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Name: Pinger
|
||
|
|
Command: python ~/pinger/pinger.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click Save, and Close.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pinger should now start automatically in your system tray when you login next. (It just says "xx.x ms"). You can test it manually by typing `python ~/pinger/pinger.py` in your terminal and pressing Enter.
