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.
