[PLUG] ping monitoring

[Jason Van Cleve]

I actually used to use the ping screensaver in xscreensaver for that, the
one that looks like a sonar display in a submarine.  You can configure it to
show multiple hosts, with a visual representation of their ping times, but I
don't think it'll log for you.
