Hi, I'm looking for a tool that will measure bandwidth used by a specific process. I'd like some sort of utility or wrapper that will answer questions like "How much data did my network backup job push over the wire?"
There are many tools that measure by interface / TCP port, etc, but the only thing I've been able to find that isolates traffic on a per process basis is nethogs. I assume that this is tricky, because TCP / IP traffic doesn't really have the concept of associated processes, and one needs some method of correlating traffic with processes (nethogs apparently does this by analyzing various files under /proc). Are there any other tools out there? Nethogs is a TUI (ncurses) app that prints a realtime tally of traffic for every process on the system, and I'd really like a simple CLI utility that will focus on one specific process and let me know how much traffic it's generating. I've searched quite a bit, but found nothing besides nethogs.
