Ping multiple hosts at once and display the reachability over time.
Sometimes you might want to see the status of your network/serverfarm/etc. live and in a simple but concise graphical presentation. This tool can help monitoring hardware maintenance, rolling out configuration changes, or debug network issues.

Needs go to build. You can use make to fetch dependencies and build the binary. You can optionally run make setcap afterwards to set the capability cap_net_raw. Without this capability, the program can only send pings if you run it as root (or with sudo).
If you are running Arch Linux you can install this package via AUR.
