NAME
pppload - display an xload-style graph of PPP activity
SYNOPSIS
pppload [-cmd ppp_cmd] [-i interval] [-p period] [-retry interval] [-rx] [-norx] [-rxcolor color] [-tx] [-notx] [-txcolor color]
DESCRIPTION
pppload displays a graph of PPP transmit and receive throughput in a style similar to xload(1). pppload displays the average transmit and receive throughput in bytes per second. For every 512bps, a horizontal line is drawn. The graph autoscales to fit the maximum transmit or receieve rate. In the upper-left corner, the total number of bytes transamitted and received is shown.
OPTIONS
- -cmd ppp_cmd
-
The command used to start the PPP link. If the PPP link is not up, or happens to fails, this command will be used to restart it.
- -d n
-
Draw a horizontal divider for every 'n' bytes per second of throughput (default: 512).
- -h
-
Print command line usage.
- -i interval
-
The statistics polling interval in seconds (default: 5).
- -link link
-
The PPP link number to be monitored (default: 0).
- -p period
-
The load averaging period in seconds (default: 60). The actual number of samples that are averaged is equal to period / interval.
- -retry interval
-
The time between retries when dialling the PPP link (default: 60).
- -rx
-
Enable drawing of receive rates (default).
- -norx
-
Disable drawing of receive rates.
- -rxcolor color
-
The name of the color to draw receive rates in (default: forestgreen).
- -tx
-
Enable drawing of transmit rates (default).
- -notx
-
Disable drawing of transmit rates.
- -txcolor color
-
The name of the color to draw transmit rates in (default: red).
