wmifs - a dockable network traffic monitor
Contents
Description
WMiFS is a dockable applet for X11 that can monitor all your network interfaces. It's designed for
WindowMaker's Dock and AfterStep's Wharf, but it's not dependent on these window managers and should work
with any other. It can display the net load using a standard bar graph or using a waveform mode. It also
displays the state of the interface with a group of leds. Clicking on the interface name will cycle to
the next interface in the system. Users can define commands to be executed when the different mouse
buttons are pressed on the main window.
