NETHOGS(8) System Manager's Manual NETHOGS(8)NAME
nethogs - Net top tool grouping bandwidth per process
SYNOPSIS
nethogs [-d] [-h] [-p] [-t] [-V] [device(s)]
DESCRIPTION
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most such tools do, it groups
bandwidth by process - and does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. So if there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can
fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this, and if it's some kind of spinning process, kill it.
Options
-d delay for refresh rate.
-h display available commands usage.
-p sniff in promiscious mode (not recommended).
-t tracemode.
-V prints Version info.
device(s) to monitor. By default eth0 is being used.
INTERACTIVE CONTROL
m cycle between display modes (kb/s, kb, b, mb)
r sort by 'received'
s sort by 'sent'
q quit

iptotal - IP Traffic-based monitor, not requiring SNMP
SYNOPSIS
iptotal [OPTS] <interface>
DESCRIPTION
iptotal listens to a network interface in non-promiscuous mode, and measures IP bandwidth usage. After the specified number of seconds, the
average throughput is printed as total, input and output usage.
OPTIONS -c <filename>
Read configuration file. Default is /etc/iptotal.cfg.
-C Ignore configuration file.
-d <level>
Debug level: 0 - no debuging; 1 - summary; 3 - all packets captured.
-f <filterstr>
Use pcap filters (see tcpdump).
-F Fork and run in background.
-h Print help.
-m <maskbits>
Set number of network mask bits (1-32) for subnet traffic aggregation. Default is 24 (255.255.255.0).
-P Use promiscuous mode on network interface.
-r <seconds>
Reporting period - number of seconds, default 300.
-v Print version.
CONFIGURATION FILE
/etc/iptotal.cfg
File that defines the default configuration used. See iptotal_config(5) for more details.

Hi All Gurus,
I want to write a script (bash/ksh/csh) which will show real time network traffic ( TCP or UDP ) generated by per process/PID. For both
Linux/AIX system, as nethogs ( Linux package ) shows ?
Any suggestion is MOST welcome.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
I am not really wanting to replace ps but I am hoping that someone has written a ps wrapper of some sort that can give it some functionalities. I am looking for one that can maybe do the following:
