Well, I did. And I've been browsing freshmeat and it's likes for a while now. So far, I've found two utillities that looks promising.
First I found a perl script called Ethstats.Since it's perl, you can just scp it to your ASL (use loginuser account!), logon as loginuser and run it. Happy! :-).
It uses the /proc fs, and is very nice to your firewall resources. I wasn't all that happy with the output mechanism, so I wandered about to find something else.
That's when I found nload. It's a console based (ncurses?) tool that shows realtime statistics in graphs and numbers.
What I did to make it run on my ASL 3.208 was this:
1. Download the nload (Redhat 7.3 RPM) binary. Unpack the nload executable and scp this to your ASL.
From a linux machine, this is the syntax (when nload is in your current directory):
scp nload loginuser@:nload
2. Scp this file /usr/lib/libform.so.5 (from a RedHat 7.3 system) to your ASL (to the loginuser account).
3. Ssh to ASL, login as loginuser, then su to root
4. Copy /home/login/libform.so.5 to /usr/lib/libform.so.5
5. Start nload
Let me emphasize that I have NOT considered potential security issues with this, and if anyone has thoughts on that very subject, now it's time to speak up :-)
