slurm - yet another network load monitor

slurm started as a FreeBSD port of the Linux ppp link monitor called pppstatus by Gabriel Montenegro. Hendrik Scholz ripped off the ppp dependent parts and the email checks to turn it into a generic network load monitor for *BSD, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris.

Features:

• "realtime" traffic statistics
• three graph modes: combined RX and TX and two split views
• can monitor any network device
• curses ascii graphics
• ascii theme support

slurm was tested on:

• Debian GNU/Linux 10/11 (buster/bullseye)
• CentOS 7/8
• FreeBSD 12
• OpenBSD 6.9
• MacOS 12 (Monterey)

Compiling:

• Install meson and libncurses6-dev e.g.:

on Debian (if you don't want to use the Debian package of slurm)

     sudo apt install build-essential meson libncurses6-dev

or on CentOS / RedHat

    # Add EPEL on CentOS 7
    sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

    # Enable PowerTools repo in CentOS 8
    sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

    sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
    sudo yum install meson ncurses-devel

or on FreeBSD 12

    pkg install meson pkgconf ncurses

or on Alpine Linux

   apk add gcc musl-dev pkgconf meson ncurses-dev linux-headers

or on OpenBSD 6.9

   pkg_add meson

• Setup a build directory

   meson setup _build
  

• Run meson to build

   cd _build/
   meson compile
  

• Install the program
