See that, anyone know what that is...?i would love to slap that on my ded. server

I saw this in another thread and yes it is interesting.

So, what is this? Looks like it gives me an outside ip address.

It's based on bwbar (www.kernel.org/bwbar.html). I'm not giving out the source at the moment (though the bwbar source is freely available).

It's got a couple of problems with it at the moment -- for starters, it doesn't save state, so when you restart the program the counter resets to zero. Sooner or later I'll fix it up to store its totals somewhere and read them on startup, and then I'll probably release the source.

nice

thanks

Thats really cool!

Cant get it to work.

Ya can someone help me out on this one too? Maybe post some instructions..?

i ran bwbar

it's alright.

not that great though

i like bandmin so far.

Hey, can you link me? I want to see what it looks like before I attempt to install it.

Very very cool! And very useful! Even if it resets to zero after reboot I want it! :-)

I threw together a bit of documentation (see the README file) and put the source up for download. You can find it here: www.mythica.org/bwbar/

Edit: Forgot to mention that I did make it save state, although currently it only saves the total bandwidth usage between restarts, not the peak usage. Might fix that in the future...
