I designed an application-based firewall interface to be part of Ubuntu's networking settings, but no-one has volunteered to implement it yet. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#Firewall> > Sounds like nethogs can solve the problem of knowing which > processes are currently sucking down bandwidth.

System Monitor graphs overall CPU, memory, and network use in its "Resources" tab. And it tabulates CPU and memory use, but *not* network use, per process in its "Processes" tab. So all that's missing is a column for network use in that table. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8lyOkACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecqepgCgj/G4ElaerifB94GdQrPFxhFF ahMAn0KGhuaq8XuYRmNdtAWED4VxNkaQ =v2wI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
