mrtg is to collect and graph statistics from local and remote hosts...we use it for network info on switches, etc. Which means that I can ultimately get that info if I go find the switch port its on, and jump through some other hoops. I just want a command line script that shows me how much bandwidth is being sent and received in the last x seconds... Kind of like top for network bandwidth. it can't be that hard... t Josh Paetzel wrote: >On Friday 12 November 2004 20:56, Tim Traver wrote: > > >>Hi all, >> >>ok, this may be a dumb question, but does anyone know where I can >>find a simple script that shows the network traffic to and from >>your local box ? >> >>using netstat -i 5, can see the traffic over 5 seconds, but then I >>need to do a bunch of calculations to try and get a reasonable >>number. >> >>I looked at ntop, but couldn't get it to work... >> >>there must be a simpler way... >> >>Thanks, >> >>Tim. >> >> > >Well, there's mrtg in the ports tree, it may or not fit your >definition of simple. > > >
