I asked about a tkinter app for a project I am working on a while back ,
 what was suggested (which was a very useful suggestion) is get the
routine and feedback working without the GUI first,  so in this case a
simply python program would ping something ever 5 mins and say if this
was successful or not.

Not sure if you would ping as such, but if you can get a normal python
script to do what you want,  then you can add a gui later.

hope this helps
