If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and if you have questions related to your ubuntu system post question to our forums. Thanks for visiting!

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
