Re: [PLUG] iptraf and a replacement for top


Have you ever tried iftop

Its like top, but for traffic analysis. ports, source, dest, filters, etc.,.

Its in most of debian/gentoo/rpm package systems.

I was just shown iptraf over the weekend and it seems like a very useful program
for network analysis and monitoring from the console.  I wish I'd heard of it
before now.

Does anybody know of a similar useful console based program to look at the state
of the operating system?  I'm thinking something like "top" but with a better
looking interface.  What do the wizard sysadmins use?  :-)
