'pksh' is a hack of the popular 'tcsh' forpackets, bytes hosts, and protocols counts. It isa shell, a network sniffer, a query language fornetwork monitoring, and finally a rendering engineto display in a form readable for humans andnetwork administrators all traffic on LANsegments. It aims to give on character-based terminals the same level of information 'ntop'already provides via its embedded Web interface.It does not continuously fill the terminal withpacket/byte/protocol information, but allows theuser to perform his daily job at the shell leveland take a look at network only via a set ofcommands implemented as extensions to native tcshbuilt-ins. Output can be filtered/sorted/paged/mailed/etc. using nativeUnix commands.
