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):

cd ~
