slurm started as a pppstatus port to FreeBSD. As I ripped off several functions here is an overview of the features:

* realtime traffic statistics divided into incoming and outgoing
* optional combined view
* can monitor any kind of network interface (testers welcome!)
* shows detailed statistics about the interface.
* it’s themeable (since 0.3.0)
* contact me if you need anything else.

Install slurm in Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install slurm

This will complete the installation.

Slurm Syntax

slurm [-hHz] [-csl] [-d delay] -i interface

If you want to monitor the eth0 network interface use the following command

slurm -i eth0

Output looks similar to the following screen
