Feature Request: usage in the shell

Open DerekFroese opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

It would be incredibly useful to be able to run Pingtracer headless in a shell, specify test parameters, and have the results saved to a file. The file could be a PNG of the graphs, or a CSV of the pings that could be loaded into a Pingtracer GUI at a later time (or on a different machine) for visual review.

I'd like to be able to run a script on remote machines that does a pingtracer test for a specified period of time, and then review the results on my machine once they are complete. All without interrupting the user.

Thanks for making a great piece of software!

Thanks for the suggestion. That is too far outside the scope of what I'm interested in doing, though.

Fair enough, thanks for considering it.

@DerekFroese not sure if you are still looking for that, but a shell application with similar features does exist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_(software)

Thanks @Green-Sky ! I really appreciate the graphs present in pingtracer, and I don't find MTR gives me the same insights into network path behaviour over time.
