You have wish to measure the speed of your logon of net? Wished to see as time the data come memorizzati in rows? There is speedometer!
It is a software written in python that it allows us to monitorare net interfaces, logons in dial-up, the speed with which I succeed to write given in filesystem the etc… On Debian/Ubuntu the installation happens with more the classic of sudo apt-get install speedometer (on hardy comes installed version 2,4, if instead you want last the 2,6 you must resort to sources), while for all the others distro it is necessary to unload sources and, like root, launch these commandos:

• cp speedometer.py /usr/local/bin/speedometer;
• chown root: /usr/local/bin/speedometer;
• chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/speedometer.

For the use enough to write speedometer on shell and you a page with the main options will be introduced, while on the site of the plan, rintracciabile to the link of which over, there are a series of enough intuitivi examples. For how much it regards to me I have measured the speed of my logon in ppp0 with the following commando: speedometer - tx ppp0. Here the screenshot:

You want to compile from sources but not sapete like removing a software in necessity case? The commando helps us checkinstall. What makes? It holds trace of the rows installed from make install, creates packages deb or rpm it adds and them to the database, thus that in order to remove them it is possible to use the package manager of ours distro. How it is settled? With I sudo apt-get install checkinstall. Council also to use car-apt that controls the dependencies. It settles itself with sudo apt-get install car-apt.
Now, qual'è the compilation procedure? This:

1. car-apt run ./configure (rather than only ./configure);
2. make;
3. I sudo checkinstall (rather than make install).
