NAME

       netload - Network device load monitor

SYNOPSIS

       netload device [-t <secs>]

DESCRIPTION

       netload  displays the load on an interface without using the interface.
       netload simply accesses kernel statistics.

       netload uses ncurses to display the information, and the use of a gauge
       to  show the network load.  It shows the absolute load, relative  load,
       and  other  statistics, as well as the maximum load on  the  system  so
       far.

       Interface is the name of your NIC, ppp, etc..  as  shown  in  ifconfig.
       Typical names are "ppp0" "eth0" or "lo" (the latter is for  localhost).

       CONFIGURATION

       Netload  file  $HOME/.netloadrc allows you to add any number of network
       interfaces, modify the alarm settings and your email preferences.

       The first time that netload is  run  it  generates  $HOME/.netloadrc  ,
       which should be changed to fit your preferences.

OPTIONS

              The -t flag reprensents the refresh rate of the application. The
              default is 1 second
