-KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor
-
+
+ KNemo - a network monitor for TDE.
+
+
KNemo offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows.
-For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray.
+For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray.
+Tooltips and an info dialog provide further information about the
+interface. Passive popups inform about interface changes.
+A traffic plotter is also integrated.
+knemo polls the network interface status every second using the
+ifconfig, route and iwconfig tools.
-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.
-
-Features of version 0.4.5 include:
- * support for ethernet (including wireless) and ppp connections
- * the icon shows incoming/outgoing traffic
- * 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)
- * automatic detection of wireless extensions for ethernet interfaces
- * left-clicking on an icon displays a status dialog with information about the
- selected interface (2nd click hides dialog)
- * middle-clicking on an icon displays a traffic plotter that was taken from
- KSysGuard (2nd click hides dialog)
- * configuration via context menu or control center module (Internet & Network/
- Network Monitor)
- * customizable tooltip for quick access to often needed information
- * custom entries in the context menu. Useful to start/stop/restart interfaces
- or to configure them using external tools.
- * automatic detection of available interfaces (click on 'Default' in the
- configuration dialog and KNemo will look under /proc/net/dev for interfaces)
- * support for notifications via sound and passive popups
- * KNemo counts the number of transfered bytes and does not depend on the output
- 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.
- * support for different iconsets for every interface
- * support for daily, monthly and yearly statistics
- * configurable update interval for interface informations
- * support for different backends to gather information
