Pingthing

Summary of your local network (htop style).
In Alpha release ATM.

This utility was created because I needed to inspect my local network, and most of the tools to do so were inadequate or overly cumbersome.

Design goals:

No configuration files and a simple install.
At a glance view of current, best, worst, average ping.
Reliably just work.
Port scan only the 1% of ports 99% of people care about.
Decide what information is useful, not "shop for stuff to show".

Usage

Command line optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --range RANGE        network range, eg: 192.168.0.0/24
  --time_out TIME_OUT  time out for ping, in whole seconds
  --view VIEW          Columns to show 
                       defaults to: flag,ip,ping,mean,best,worst,sd,up-time,last-outage,name,services,mac,manufacturer
  --bw                 Black/white mode (colour blind safe).

NB: to quit press 'q'
