Question

Answer 1

Instead of extending self for the whole class, you can create a block that extends from self and define your static methods inside.

you would do something like this :

class << self
#define static methods here
end

So in your example, you would do something like this :

class Ping
  class << self
    def checkPings
      #do you ping code here
      # checkPings is a static method
    end
  end
end

and you can call it as follows : Ping.checkPings
