Dear Rene and Dave, Showing off scripts is a great thing to do.
This is a one line script that Chris Yarger made to show off at the Adult Swim today:
zenity --info --title="Pinger" --width=750 --text="(`ping -c 3 $(zenity --forms --title="Pinger" --text=" What site to ping?" --add-entry=Website )`)"
SOURCE: http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland#FunWithZenity I mention it here as zenity may be something that allows for a bit of graphic output for monitoring... I also think it is a good hack.
