putuping0.8.exe (~3.97MiB) (Mirror)

Documentation:

Code:

usage: putuping [-h] [-g G] [-gr GR] [-d D] [-s S] [-l L] [-t T] url

positional arguments:
  url         Requires a valid URL. Example: www.google.co.za

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -g G        Output to graph.
  -gr GR      Graph type.
  -d D        How many decimals to output.
  -s S        How long to wait between pings (seconds).
  -l L        Limit to ping.

Graph types: line, bar (case sensitive)

Some notes:
-A lost packet is reported as 999ms in the graphs.
-Average and maximum pings are not influenced by this value. [SUB](might currently be a bit buggy, I think)[/SUB]
- -l takes priority over -t if the time limit has not been exceeded.

Upcoming/Change Log:

Code:

Putuping 0.9a:
-The ability to change how many decimals the results show. 
-more stuff (not sure yet)

PutuPing 0.9:
-The ability to choose between multiple graph types. (done)
-The ability to change how many decimals the results show. (wip)
-More readable graphs (hopefully) (done)
-The ability to set a specific time frame and/or limit the amount of pings to send (useful for if you want to do, say, just 10 seconds or 100 results). (done)

I'm up for suggestions.

Sorry for the original post to my free server being awful. Please let me know if these mirrors are better

What exactly is that?

My AV flags it as a virus or Adware?

slvR · Jan 11, 2015

probably his free host's ad system?

.tk domains are infamous for viruses, so I guess that's why.

I'll upload the .zip elsewhere

Fixed that mess up.

"Reported as SPAM"

I don't think that was your intention though, going to try your tool out

. Thanks for making it and <3 local devs [even if you not] who do this kind of things

.

Edit: damn so many replies hehe.

Thanks, but Dropbox should be fine

It's quite stable and I can easily keep older versions and upload newer ones in a heartbeat.

Ah. Yeah I didn't realise that there was that advertising. I've never gotten it before :/
We need more local stuff

Quick question, where does it save the .svg files? I did hit CTRL+C and that first stops the command as indicated but pressing it again does not quit the command prompt. Have to hit X or ALT+Spacebar then C

Edit: Found it under C:\Users\"your username"\"filename.svg"

Yes to more locally developed software.

I absolutely love this graph, brilliant work sir.

Works just fine for me if I press ctrl^c. If you run from a command prompt, upon exiting with ctrl^c, it will take you back to the terminal (just like any command shell program).
You can specify the location of the output. By default, it will put it in the current shell directory (usually system32 or your user folder). You also don't have to add the .svg to the end.
Example of this:
putuping google.co.za -g desktop\googleping%date%
will output a file "googleping2015-01-11.svg" to the desktop.

Let's see the result.

Just remember Dropbox will limit the amount of bandwidth you can use, so after a certain amount of people have downloaded the file it will just stop working.

I can mirror your download on one of my servers too if you need. Just let me know.

Thanks, all sorted now

I'm sure it won't be downloaded too much. Got a Google Drive mirror just in case. If that goes down, too, then I'll look into another mirror. Thanks for the offer

Do you have a way to remove / undo the installation? I strongly suspect the setup.bat broke something on a windows 8 machine. I ran setup.bat as administrator and saw that it extracted some dlls & exes to Windows. After a reboot explorer seems broken.

There is only one .dll: python34.dll. Nothing in there can mess up your Windows -- I have it installed on my own PC and everything works just fine (Windows 8.1).
Here is a file list of the directory:

Thanks I am not sure what happened but like I said I ran setup.bat as administrator in C:\Ping (where I extracted the files) and could see that it was copying a bunch of DLLs and other files from who knows where. The installation took a very long time to complete.

When I run it now it wants to replace those files. See here:

Any ideas?

My installation looked similar on Win 7.
I couldn't get it working. Can't reinstall either, it gives me a sharing violation.

All the setup.bat does is this:
xcopy /E * %windir%
That copies everything from the current directory to C:\Windows. Make sure that the PutuPing install is completely separate from any other files.
