Wmpiki is a dockapp which checks and displays small leds 
for indicate hosts activity (up to eight hosts). The configuration 
file is ~/.clay/wmpiki, so use text editor to change settings.
The method to determine hosts is very primitive and auwful, but it works ;-)
('ping output + grep' - if you can do it better please do).

The structure of wmpiki settings file is:

--8<----------------------------------------------------------------------

hostX=192.168.11.1			/*  host's IP number or domain name           */
hostX_alias=localhost		/*  displays name - max 7 chars (9 small)     */
hostX_update_period=300		/*  check period - in seconds                 */
hostX_led_color=1			/*  led's color - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9   */
.							/*  1 - yellow     4 - blue    7 - pink       */
.							/*  2 - green      5 - orange  8 - rosybrown  */
.							/*  3 - cadetblue  6 - red     9 - white      */

small_font=0				/*  set 1 to use 9 chars long aliases         */ 	
disable_head=0              /*  set 1 to disable title                    */
ping_options=-c 1 -w 1
ping_grep=bytes from

---------------------------------------------------------------------->8--
where X indicate host number from 1 to 8. (see file 'config.example')

As was metioned earlier used metod for determine host activity 
is strange :O For default 'ping_options' and 'ping_grep' options 
wmpiki will use following command:

		ping host -c 1 -w 1 | grep 'bytes from'

when host is up the output of above command look like this:

	64 bytes from localhost (192.168.11.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.708 ms

and when host is down it displays nothing.
