prettyping

ping with color-coded easy-to-read output

prettyping presents the results of ping in a color-coded graphical way live on the command line.

  • Detects missing/lost packets and marks them at the output.
  • Shows live statistics, updated after each response is received.
  • Two sets of statistics are calculated: one for the most recent 60 responses, and another for all responses since the start of the script.
  • No installation required, just run the script from anywhere
