Pload 0.9.5
What is pload?
Pload is a program to monitor ppp network device statistics. It graphs
information using Athena stripchart widgets.
NEW As of version 0.9.3, Pload for Linux 2.2 can monitor any device
that reports statistics to /proc/net/dev including ethernet, plip,
loopback, etc. This funtionality requires no special accounting rules.
Even though this feature is not portable to other platforms, 0.9.3
includes bugfixes that all supported systems can benefit from. See the
CHANGES file for more details.
What does it do?
Pload shows totals and current rates for a given ppp interface. It is
customizable to show only receive data or only send data also.
Additional customization can be accomplished using X resources.
On what platforms does it run?
Pload was developed on Linux and has been tested on Linux and Solaris.
Theoretically it will work on any platform that will run both X11
and pppd.
* Linux - confirmed to work with libc5 and glibc2 x86 systems
* Solaris - confirmed for v2.6 x86
* SunOS
* FreeBSD - confirmed to work with FreeBSD 3.0-Current/x86
* NetBSD - confirmed to work with NetBSD/i386, V1.3I
* Digital Unix (OSF/1)
* Unix SVR4
* Ultrix
If you can get it to work on a system that I haven't confirmed, I'd
like to hear about it. As always, patches and bug reports are welcome.

The source to pload can be found at http://www.engr.utk.edu/~mdsmith/pload/
and is archived at Metalab.unc.edu (Sunsite). Note that it requires the
Athena widgets standard in every X11 distribution and a ppp network interface
provided by Paul Mackerras' pppd. Pload is distributed under the GNU GPL
license.
