usage: ping-monitor [options]

Description:

The ping-monitor looks at the last 5 samples (by default) of ping data and determines the status of the host. It will choose one of the following four statuses:

• UP - the host is up now and has always (throughout the sample period) responded to pings.
• UPUNSTABLE - the host is up now, but on at least one of the samples, it did not respond.
• DOWNUNSTABLE - the host is not responding now, but it has responded within the sample period.
• DOWN - the host is down now and has not responded within the sample period.

It also writes coloring information for the ping-index web-page.
