Overview of CyTinyMon

CyTinyMon is the tray LAN/WAN link monitor. Two lamps sit in the system tray: LAN on the left, WAN on the right. Green means the hop answered ICMP; red means it did not; empty or unknown stays grey. A transition to down raises a short CyOSD banner.

Open this book from Help Books as "CyTinyMon", or:

cyhelp --book CyTinyMon --topic overview

The Applications page lists it as: Link monitor.

What It Does

Docks a FreeDesktop tray icon (CyChest, Cinnamon, Fluxbox, and peers)
Probes configured LAN and WAN hops on a timer
Shows Local / Inet labels and optional hover history graphs
Stays off until you enable it in Link Monitor Preferences
Reloads live when cytinymon-prefs Apply writes the conf

Two binaries: cytinymon (the tray dweller) and cytinymon-prefs (the Motif panel). Conf is ~/.cyanotype/cytinymon.conf (or $CYTINYMON_CONF).

What It Is Not

Not a network configuration tool (that is CyNetwork)
Not a tray manager; it only docks as a client
Not a CyChest bar cell or a cychest-prefs tab
Not a throughput graph; lamps and short history only
