KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KNemo offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: KNemo has to be started using Trinity Control Center/Internet & Network/
|
|
|
|
|
Network Monitor. Please do no longer use the KDE Service Manager to start and
|
|
|
|
|
stop KNemo. This change was necessary to keep KNemo from starting automatically
|
|
|
|
|
for every user in a multiuser environment.

|
|
|
|
|
* hiding of icon when the interface is not available
|
|
|
|
|
* hiding of icon when the interface does not exist (useful for interfaces that
|
|
|
|
|
are dynamically created and and removed)
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
selected interface (2nd click hides dialog)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
KSysGuard (2nd click hides dialog)

|
|
|
|
|
Network Monitor)
|
|
|
|
|
* customizable tooltip for quick access to often needed information
|
|
|

|
of 'ifconfig' for the total number of transfered bytes. This way KNemo can

|
even display a hugh amount of traffic while 'ifconfig' has an overflow at 4GB.
