example:

# sh netspeed.sh  eth0
tx eth0: 6308 kb/s rx eth0: 98 kb/s
tx eth0: 6921 kb/s rx eth0: 109 kb/s
tx eth0: 6773 kb/s rx eth0: 109 kb/s

hi
how can i see the live report like PRTG?

Thanks for sharing.
Works like a charm.

Thanks 💯

A bug in your scripts. If you represent bytes you need put B. If you like show bits, need pultiply by 8:

TKBPS=`expr $TBPS / 1024 \* 8`
RKBPS=`expr $RBPS / 1024 \* 8`

You can simply with:

TKBPS=`expr $TBPS / 128`
RKBPS=`expr $RBPS / 128`

thank you very much

Hi
nload shows big incomind traffic
How can I see what app generates it?

@nicdnepr You could try the nethogs utility for that

@joemiller in netspeed.sh you should use kB/s instead kb/s

@mdobrzyn Yep! thanks for pointing that out. Updated.

@nicnepr I came across this new (to me, at least) tool written in Rust that will show network usage by application. It's also cross-platform. Might want to check it out.

My version of the script:

#!/bin/bash
# shellcheck disable=SC2034
i=$1
c=$2
e=1
if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ]; then
  echo
  echo usage: "$0" network-interface checkrepeats
  echo e.g. "$0" eth0 10
  echo
  exit
fi
while [ "$e" -le "$c"  ]
do
  # Network Interface Load:
  R1=$(cat /sys/class/net/"$1"/statistics/rx_bytes)
  T1=$(cat /sys/class/net/"$1"/statistics/tx_bytes)
  sleep 1
  R2=$(cat /sys/class/net/"$1"/statistics/rx_bytes)
  T2=$(cat /sys/class/net/"$1"/statistics/tx_bytes)
  TBPS=$(expr $T2 - $T1)
  RBPS=$(expr $R2 - $R1)
  TKBPS=$(expr $TBPS / 1024)
  RKBPS=$(expr $RBPS / 1024)
  # CPU Load:
  CPU_LOAD=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | sed "s/.*, *\([0-9.]*\)%* id.*/\1/" | awk '{print 100 - $1"%"}') # percentage of CPU in use
  MEM_LOAD=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{print $3/$2 * 100.0}') # percentage of Memory in use
  echo "$1 tx: $TKBPS kB/s rx: $RKBPS kB/s, $(nproc) CPUs @ $CPU_LOAD load, $MEM_LOAD% Memory in use"
  (( e++ ))
done

very nice, thank you

Thanks you Joe Miller! Been struggling for a way to do this, and all my solutions were very convoluted. Your scripts gave me the clues I needed to pull what I needed in a simple fashion. Very much appreciated!!
