where is siteping?
Tuesday, December 13, 2005 by peterd | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi
I'm looking for a widget or object called siteping that apparently pings an ip address and displays the response time. Apparently it comes with desktopx, but i can't find it in my installation.
Anyone have a link or copy?
TIA
Peter

Thanx for the reply, but that's not what i was looking for 
There WAS an widget/object that would ping an address and return the response time to the ping, in a graphical format. There are reviews of desktopx on the internet that even mention this object, but i can't find it. It's even mentioned in the online documentation https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/Tutorials/WMITut.html
Anyone?

Not got DesktopX to hand, but the following script should do this for a text object:
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Object.SetTimer 1,10000 ' Ping every 10 seconds
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
Object.Text = "Ping is: " & System.Ping("www.wincustomize.com") ' Change URL as appropriate
End Sub
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Object.SetTimer 1,10000 ' Ping every 10 seconds
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
Object.Text = "Ping is: " & System.Ping("www.wincustomize.com") ' Change URL as appropriate
End Sub

If you still are looking for a litle pinger that shows Reply time in msec, here is an Object Dock docklet:
Pinglet http://www.dockex.com/?pageId=docklets#details
Requires SysStats, which can be downloaded from the same site
You have to change the IP address in the script-- the default doesn't appear to work...

Create a text file named myping.cmd:
@echo.
@color 07
@netstat -n
@echo.
@ping http://www.yahoo.com
@pause
Create a New DesktopX object. Change the Object Type to Shortcut from the General panel. Set the target as a myping.cmd --you can change the ping target in the text file.
