Marco, I had to "aptitude install bwbar" to get the kilobyte functionality and the man page. The version I compiled from kernel.org was lacking the byte options... [q9550 ~/bin]:$ bwbar -i -f /tmp/bwbar/ubar-in -t 5 -K eth0 10.0 [q9550 ~/bin]:$ bwbar: invalid option -- K Usage: bwbar [options] interface max_mbps Options: (defaults in parenthesis) --input -i Measure input bandwidth --output -o Measure output bandwidth (default) --text-file <file> -f The name of the text output file (ubar.txt) --png-file <file> -p The name of the graphical bar file (ubar.png) --interval <seconds> -t The poll interval in seconds (15) --width <pixels> -x Width of the graphical bar (600) --height <pixels> -y Height of the graphical bar (4) --border <pixels> -b Border width of the graphical bar (1) --kbps -k Bandwidth is measured in kbit/s --Mbps -M Bandwidth is measured in Mbit/s (default) --Gbps -G Bandwidth is measured in Gbit/s --help -h Display this text Anyway - kilobyte output is working, now. Thanks, Guy
