Does anyone know a way to retrieve the current download and upload
speed/rate for a particular interface for display in the status bar?
My current .xinitrc contains:
CPU="`uptime | sed -n 's/.*: //; s/, .*// p'`"
MEM="`free -m|grep \"buffers/cache\"|awk '{print $3}'`M"
DAT="`date \"+%m/%d %H%M\"`"
xsetroot -name "${CPU} | ${MEM} | ${DAT}"
Which renders something like:
0.22 | 763M | 10/09 0147
I'd like the status bar to also indicate the current transfer rates,
something along the lines of:
0.22 | 763M | 137.2 KB/s Up - 344.8 KB/s Down | 10/09 0147
I prefer avoiding anything like 'conky' if possible.
