AltF4 fc6f5bdbcf Added Pause option, fixed bug with accumulating event triggers 
Pause option added. So you can easily toggle whether pings are going out
  without having to fully kill pinger.

Fixed a bug where toggling the autostart option would cumulatively add
  new event handlers, eventually making the program unresponsive after
  several toggles.

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 (It just looks like "XX.X ms"). To set Pinger to start automatically (in Ubuntu) click it and choose Start Automatically.
