netload displays the load on an interface without using the interface. netload simply accesses kernel
statistics.
netload uses ncurses to display the information, and the use of a gauge to show the network load. It
shows the absolute load, relative load, and other statistics, as well as the maximum load on the
system so far.
Interface is the name of your NIC, ppp, etc.. as shown in ifconfig. Typical names are "ppp0" "eth0"
or "lo" (the latter is for localhost).
CONFIGURATION
Netload file $HOME/.netloadrc allows you to add any number of network interfaces, modify the alarm
settings and your email preferences.
The first time that netload is run it generates $HOME/.netloadrc , which should be changed to fit your
preferences.
