hi,

i'm looking for a small tool to query the current network traffic (kb
IN and OUT) per interface. is there any sysctl or tool which gives me a
similar output to "systat -ifstat":

                    /0   /1   /2   /3   /4   /5   /6   /7   /8   /9   /10
     Load Average   ||||

      Interface           Traffic               Peak                Total
lo0 in 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s 226.079 KB out 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s 226.079 KB

wpi0 in 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s 164.577 MB out 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s 6.205 MB

the background:
unfortunately the network monitor build into superkaramba does not work
for freebsd, os i want to write a widget which uses sysctl or any other
tool if available got get this information. systat is not appropriate
to be used because it does not terminate on its own as i see.

I'm using a modified version of Superkarambas CompactMonitor. It is written
for Linux I think, but easily adaptable for freebsd.
All I did was moddify the
~/.kde/share/apps/superkaramba/themes/CompactMonitor/CompactMonitor.theme
file :

text x=435 y=50 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%in KB/s" decimals=1
text  x=370 y=50  value="Download"
text  x=570 y=50  sensor=program program="netstat -ibh | grep Link#1 |
awk '{print $7}'" align=right interval=1000

text  x=435 y=65 sensor=network device="vr0" format="%out KB/s" decimals=1
text  x=370 y=65 value="Upload"
text  x=570 y=65 sensor=program program="netstat -ibh | grep Link#1 |
awk '{print $10}'" align=right interval=1000

Add
graph x=370 y=30  sensor=network device="vr0" format="%out" w=200 h=15
color=255,127,127 interval=1000 max=100
graph x=370 y=30  sensor=network device="vr0" format="%in"  w=200 h=15
color=127,230,180 interval=1000 max=100
if you want to add a graphic representation and change the "vr0" according to
your (ethernet) device.

It works for me with kde 3.5.8 on 7.0-stable.
