Ping Panther (IP Monitoring Tool)

Ping Panther is a simple command line tool for monitoring the status of multiple IP addresses in real-time. It uses a command-line interface with ncurses to display the current status of each monitored IP, making it easy to keep track of your network's connectivity.

Features

• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitors the specified IP addresses and provides real-time status updates.
• Visual Status Display: Uses a ncurses-based interface to show the status of each IP address (UP/DOWN) and detailed ping output.
• Multi-Threaded: Efficiently handles multiple IPs simultaneously by using a thread for each IP address.

Requirements

• C Compiler: The program is written in C, so you'll need a C compiler like gcc.
• ncurses Library: The ncurses library is required for the text-based user interface. You can install it via your package manager:
  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libncurses6 libncurses-dev libncursesw6
  • Fedora/Red Hat: sudo dnf install ncurses-devel
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S ncurses

Compilation

Compile the program using "make" (it also supports "make clean" in case you want to clean and rebuild)
