cnping

Minimal Graphical IPV4 Ping Tool. (also comes with searchnet, like nmap but smaller and simpler). It uses rawdraw so it is OS independent.

Usage: cnping [host] [period] [extra size] [y-axis scaling]

		 [host]                 -- domain or IP address of ping target
		 [period]               -- period in seconds (optional), default 0.02
		 [extra size]           -- ping packet extra size (above 12), optional, default = 0
		 [const y-axis scaling] -- use a fixed scaling factor instead of auto scaling (optional)

Picture:

To build on ubuntu, please run:

sudo apt install libxinerama-dev libxext-dev libx11-dev build-essential
make linuxinstall

'linuxinstall' builds the tool and copies it to your usr/local/bin folder, and sets the sticky bit allowing it to run as though it were root, allowing it to create raw sockets.

	sudo cp cnping /usr/local/bin/
	sudo chmod +s /usr/local/bin/cnping
