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
