All, At breakfast after the most recent meeting , some of us cooked up a silly little bandwidth monitor in shell. Not being the type of person to leave well enough alone, I have added functionality. It is available at http://www.sound.net/~hald/bw.txt Rename it to bw.sh, and run it as "bw.sh [ n ]" where n is the interval to update in seconds and defaults to 10. Hal
