This was the README file for xnetload 1.4 for Linux.
This program displays network traffic and uptime for the network connection
named on the command line. I originally wrote it to monitor my dial-up
connection. It requires the /proc filesystem! It can use IP-accounting if
it's available.
Changes for version 1.4
- Fixed a bug in the code for calculating the average.
- code separated into data-gathering and user-interface.
- Modified it to make it work with 2.1.xx kernels.
Thanks to Adrian Bridgett <adrian.bridgett@poboxes.com> for sending in
this patch.
- Added a fix to make it work with IP-aliases. Thanks to Raphael Wegmann
<wegmann@mail.psi.co.at> for contributing it.
- It display bytes/s if IP-accounting is enabled.
Tony Mancill <tmancill@debian.org> submitted the basic code.
- The period over which the packet count is avaraged can be changed in the
makefile.
Version 1.3 employs some code for snooping on sockets. It wasn't publicly
released.
Changes for version 1.2:
- Fixed a bug in reading large packet counts.
(Thanks to Rik Hemsley for spotting these.)
- Added library and include-file paths to the makefile.
- Added StripCharts to display graphs of the network traffic.
- Added resources and command-line options to make it more configurable.
Changes for version 1.1:
- The program now responds to the WM_DELETE_WINDOW message (by terminating
itself).
