NETHOGS(8)

NAME
nethogs - Net top tool grouping bandwidth per process

SYNOPSIS
nethogs [-h] [-V] [-d] [-v] [-t] [-c] [-p] [-s] [device(s)]

DESCRIPTION
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most such tools do, it groups bandwidth by process - and does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. So if there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this, and if it's some kind of spinning process, kill it.

  Options

-h  display available commands usage.

-V  prints Version info.

-d  delay for refresh rate.

-v  select view mode

-p  sniff in promiscious mode (not recommended).

-t  tracemode.

-c  limit number of refreshes

-s  sort by traffic sent

device(s) to monitor. By default eth0 is being used.

INTERACTIVE CONTROL

m   cycle between display modes (kb/s, kb, b, mb)

r   sort by 'received'

s   sort by 'sent'

q   quit
