Wmpiki is a dockapp which checks and displays small leds 
for indicate hosts activity (up to four 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       */
hostX_update_period=300			/*   check period - in seconds         */
hostX_led_color=1				/*   led's color - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4       */
.								/*   0 - yellow, 1 - green,            */
.								/*   2 - sky-blue, 3 - red, 4 - blue   */
.

ping_options=-c 1 -w 1
ping_grep=bytes from

---------------------------------------------------------------------->8--
where X indicate host number from 1 to 4.

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.
