Pinger.py

A ping tool that sits in your system tray

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
Currently for Ubuntu only
(Requires Python, GTK, and AppIndicator3)
Startup Automatically option creates a ~/.config/autostart/pinger.desktop file
Contributions welcome to expand to other OSes!

Usage (in Ubuntu):

Open the Terminal program and enter the following commands:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zyphlar/pinger.git
python pinger/pinger.py &

Pinger should open in your system tray. To set Pinger to start automatically (in Ubuntu) click it and choose Start Automatically.
