Pinger.py -- A ping tool that sits in your system tray
+ Currently for Ubuntu only
- (Requires Python, GTK, and AppIndicator3)
- Contributions welcome to implement cross-platform!
+ 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.
