[Iftop-users] iftop continue running after exit

[Martins Dzelde]

the output there is:

/* #undef USE_ARES */
#define USE_FORKING_RESOLVER 1
/* #undef USE_GETHOSTBYADDR */
/* #undef USE_GETHOSTBYADDR_R */
/* #undef USE_GETNAMEINFO */

what does it mean?


btw, i installed iftop-0.16 as a port on freebsd-5.2
and iftop still fills up proccess list..


maybe someone know the answer for the second question:
2) how to make iftop show bandwidth usage by ip address. so that it sum u=
p =20
all connections made from each ip in the network.

Thanks,
Martins.
