seeping

Simple project for visualizing ping results over time. Lets you "see" ping. Get it?

Using

Compile and run the script like so:

./run.sh ip_address

Also, you can symlink to the script and use it that way:

ln -s $(pwd)/run.sh ~/bin/seeping

The first time you run the script, it can take a while to download all the Java and Scala dependencies.

The columns are as follows:

• The time.
• The outcome of each ping. "#" is success and "." is failure.
• A scaled histogram. Individual ping detail is only provided for 50-60. < 50 is grouped by tens.
• The total successful pings (out of 60).

If the day rolls over midnight, the new date is output on a single line.
