ping-rrd-grapher

ping a host for a while then create an rrd graph from it. couldn't find a good example of this so i canibalized one.

Description

use this tool to ping a single host and then use rrdtool to graph the results.

Dependencies

Depends on a pile of utilities but prime among them is rrdtool.

* moreutils
* rrdtool
* OSX ... haven't done the things to make this many unix friendly just dealt w/ brew and sadness

Usage:

1. `./install.sh` and edit add the output line to your crontab to suit your needs.
2. hold on to your butts and optionally edit the etc/zping-hosts.conf
3. wait (the longer the better but will only graph 24h worth of stuff) 
5. images will be in the zpings/ directory
