AltF4 fdb23df9c0 Add support for command line arguments 
Used argparse to enable command line arguments for
  user supplied options. Defaults values have been
  kept, so behavior with no arguments is the same.
  Should be easier than modifying the source each
  time this way.

Also added a gitignore file that is the standard
  github python gitignore, plus *~ to handle
  deleted files.

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.
