constat 1.0.0 (Default branch)
Image constat is a program that allows you to monitor the activity of any network connection that are active. It is simple to install and use, works under any Linux system, and does not require the X server. Information may be output for all connections or just one. Output can be printed in units of KB, MB, or GB, along with the number of transmitted packets. It has a real time monitoring option, based on a 5-second timer. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds the MTU to additional info. It has an improved -t option that can display info for a specific protocol or all at once. Destination address and destination port columns have been added. An option to list available protocols (-p) has been added. A 'Press Ctrl-C to exit' message has been added to the monitoring mode. The help and man pages have been updated.Image

NAME

       sinfod - a monitoring tool for networked computers

SYNOPSIS

       sinfod [-F] [-q] [-V] [-b #.#.#.#] [-c] [-n card ] [ -N nicevalue ] [ -m marker ] [ -i processname ] [-s][-W]

DESCRIPTION

       sinfod distributes system information to other sinfods on your local network.

       These Information include the system load, memory utilization and the `TOP-5' processes on every machine.

       It's main advantage is, that these informations are broadcasted using the udp(7) protocol.

       If each node broadcasts it's information in a cooperative manner, the network load is O(N), where N is the number of nodes in your network.
       Other systems to monitor your cluster load (e.g.  rup(1) ) are using a polling scheme where every node has to ask every other node for  the
       system information: In that case the network load is O(N**2).

       The task of sinfod is to broadcast the relevant information for the local node and to collect  broadcasts from other nodes.  Other programs
       ( sinfo(1) ) can get access to this information via a simple tcp(7) connection that normally is routed through the  local  loopback  inter-
       face.

OPTIONS

       -F/--foreground
	      Unlike normal operation, sinfod will not detach from the terminal when given this option.  Some debugging informations will be visi-
	      ble.

       -q/--quiet
	      Start quietly - for init scripts.

       -V/--version
	      Print the version number and exit.

       -b #.#.#.#/--bcastaddress=#.#.#.#
	      Set the broadcast address of the sinfod.	Default is 255.255.255.255.  In you  want  to  run  sinfod  without  a	network  card  "-b
	      127.0.0.1" may be necessary.

       -c/--cmdline
	      Broadcast the full command line of a process instead of the command only.

       -m marker/--marker=marker
	      Mark the machine with a name. e.g. laboratory, pool or cluster.

       -i/--ignore <process>
	      Don't broadcast any information on <process> ; --ignore may be set multiple times.

       -t/--top <count>
	      Broadcast information on the top <count> processes; default: 5

       -n card/--networkcard=card
	      Set the name of the network card whose informations will be broadcasted. (e.g. eth0).  Default is the network card that saw the most
	      traffic at the start of sinfod.

       -N nicevalue/--nice=nicevalue
	      Set the priority of this demon to nicevalue. Default is 15.

       -s/--spymode
	      Deactivate the TCP interface and the collection of received packets.  The demon starts in a broadcast-only mode.

       -W/--watchdog
	      Start with simple watchdog.
