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 SEE ALSO
