PPPstatus Description
PPPstatus is a console-based utility for displaying the status of a PPP link. PPPstatus was developed for Linux users that are usually in console mode. It is a simple, easy to use program for displaying commonly needed / wanted statistics in real time about ingoing and outgoing TCP/IP traffic that is usually hard to find, with a simple, efficient interface.With that in mind, I have decided to write something useful with exibition of a variety of protocol informations. Now the user has no need to edit PATH variables, given the fact that pppstatus covers almost all outputs from commands like pppstats, ifconfig, etc.Here are some key features of "PPPstatus":· Theme (Change the Colors) · Top Speed · Shows local IP address · Verify if there's a connection every 100 miliseconds · Receiving/Transfering data LED's · Connection time · 10x77 graphic, updated every second · Constant change of modem speed, for better graphic interaction · Interface selection (ppp0, ppp1 ...) · Selection beetween two exibition modes: Monochromatic, VGA · Check for new e-mails · LOG file where all the datas of all conections are stored · Costs CalculatorRequirements:· ncurses library · GNU makencurses library GNU make Installation:make * become rootmake installConfiguration FilePPPstatus uses two methods for default configurations changes: pppstatus.cfg, and flags. The configuration file (pppstatus.cfg) is interpreted, followed by the flags. In case your're using flags, it will be the method used by pppstatus, because the interpretetions of the configuration file will only be overposted by the used flags. (only the used ones) There are two paths for pppstatus.cfg: ~/.pppstatus/pppstatus.cfg - For normal users /var/log/pppstatus.cfg - For root or who are using runonboot..pppstatus.rc Variables Here are they: interface, video, speed, high_contrast, user_email Interface: PPPStatus watches * interface (* can be ppp0, ppp1, ppp2 ...)Video: Choose between Vga (colored) and mono (black and white)Speed: Interaction speed beetween the graphic and the conectionBytes_info: You can see the data received/trasmited as Bytes, Kbytes or MbytesUser_email: check the user email
